Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR) are caused by
various factors, including both pathogenic and non-pathogenic ones. β-glucan primarily …

Microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) are molecular signatures typical of whole
classes of microbes, and their recognition plays a key role in innate immunity. Endogenous …

Pattern recognition receptors confer plant resistance to pathogen infection by recognizing
the conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The cell surface receptor chitin …

Chitin and chitosan are naturally-occurring compounds that have potential in agriculture with
regard to controlling plant diseases. These molecules were shown to display toxicity and …

Chitin is a major component of fungal cell walls and serves as a microbe-associated
molecular pattern (MAMP) for the detection of various potential pathogens in innate immune …

Chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, is found in fungal cell walls but not in plants.
Plant cells can perceive chitin fragments (chitooligosaccharides) leading to gene induction …

Arabidopsis thaliana is a host to the powdery mildew Erysiphe cichoracearum and nonhost
to Blumeria graminis f. sp hordei, the powdery mildew pathogenic on barley (Hordeum …

The high degree of structural complexity of plant cell wall polysaccharides has led to
suggestions that some components might function as latent signal molecules that are …

Providing comprehensive coverage of the biological activities and industrial applications of
Chitin, Chitosan, oligosaccharides, and their derivatives, this book presents a balance of …
