New chitosan derivatives induced resistance to fusarium wilt disease through phytoalexin (Gossypol) production
The present investigation studied the mechanism of resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.vasinfectum induced by some chitosan derivatives in susceptible cotton plants. Pretreating cotton seeds with chitosan markedly increased cotton resistance to vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasi...
