Activation of Early Defense Signals in Seedlings of <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> Treated with Chitin Nanoparticles

Chitin is an excellent material for the synthesis of nanoparticles because it is an elicitor and can form nanostructured materials. The application of chitin nanoparticles (CNPs) in plants can activate early defense responses associated with chitin. In this study, CNPs were synthesized by water in o...
