Evaluation of the Physicochemical Properties of Chitosans in Inducing the Defense Response of <i>Coffea arabica</i> against the Fungus <i>Hemileia vastatrix</i>
Chitosan is a natural polymer, and its biological properties depend on factors such as the degree of deacetylation and polymerization, viscosity, molecular mass, and dissociation constant. Chitosan has multiple advantages: it is biodegradable, biocompatible, safe, inexpensive, and non-toxic. Due to...
