“…In the present experiments, plants were cultivated following commercial practices to imitate realistic conditions and in the absence of stress, as indicated by the obtained yields. Earlier studies report that the promotive effects of chitosan and TiO 2 application persist under stress conditions [53,66,67]. Under stress conditions, however, the magnitude of the effects and their relative benefits will most likely be different than those reported here [53,66,67].…”

Chitosan and Titanium Dioxide Are More Effective in Improving Seed Yield and Quality in Nanoparticle Compared to Non-Structured Form: A Case Study in Five Milk Thistle Ecotypes (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.)

Milk thistle is an important medicinal crop. In this two-year field study, the optimal form [bulk (non-structured), nanoparticles (NPs)] and concentration (0, 50, 100 mg L−1) of chitosan and titanium dioxide (TiO2) applications for improving seed yield, as well as seed mineral (N, Mg, Fe, Ti), protein, and oil contents were investigated in five ecotypes. Leaf gas exchange, ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm), and hydration were also evaluated in situ. Chitosan and TiO2 improved all traits under study, with the former generally being more effective. When applied in the NP form, the positive effect was stronger. For chitosan NPs, a low concentration was optimal. Increased hydration status was associated with enhanced stomatal conductance, which, together with Fv/Fm, were positively related to photosynthetic rate. The seed yield per plant was positively related to main capitulum traits (i.e., diameter, number, and weight of seeds), as well as to seed weight and number of capitula per plant. In conclusion, the improvement of seed yield and quality by application of chitosan and TiO2 in either form was underlain by the same components, though their relative importance depends on the ecotype. Chitosan NPs were most effective, demonstrating an economical, eco-friendly, and sustainable means to stimulate milk thistle yield.

“…So, chitosan was considered to be an effective inducer that leads to resistant reaction in wheat against the pathogenic infection of B. sorokiniana, which was correlated with change in the leaf POX activity (Popova et al, 2016). In another study, it was found that chitosan salicylate (0.1%) reduced the root rot damage to wheat by 79% and yellow rust by 29.1% and increased the yield by 32.8%, and caused an increase in indices of wheat growth, development and productivity (Kolesnikov et al, 2022). Devi et al (2019) conducted a field trial and they suggested that soaking wheat seeds in chemical compounds like salicylic acid (10 -5 M) and CuSO 4 (10 -4 M and 10 -5 M) increases the accumulation of total phenol and POX and could be used in the management of spot blotch of wheat.…”

Defense Inducer Compounds Up-regulated the Peroxidase, Polyphenol Oxidase, and Total Phenol Activities against Spot Blotch Disease of Wheat

Spot blotch disease of wheat caused by <i>Bipolaris sorokiniana</i> (Sacc.) Shoem is considered as an economically important disease which affects all the growing stages of wheat crop. Therefore, it is important to search some effective management strategies against the spot blotch pathogen. Some synthetic elicitor compounds (salicylic acid, isonicotinic acid, and chitosan) and nano-particles (silver and aluminum) were tested against the pathogen to observe the change in biochemical activity and defense action of wheat plant against spot blotch disease. All the tested elicitor compounds and nano-particles showed a significant increase in activity of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and total phenol over control. The highest increase in activity of peroxidase was recorded at 72 h from chitosan at 2 mM and 96 h from silver nano-particle at 100 ppm. Maximum PPO and total phenol activity were recorded from chitosan at 2 mM and silver nano-particle at 100 ppm as compared to pathogen-treated and healthy control. The lowest percent disease index, lowest no. of spots/leaf, and no. of infected leaves/plant were found in silver nano-particle at 100 ppm and chitosan at 2 mM, respectively. The use of defense inducer compounds results in significantly up-regulated enzymatic activity and reduced spot blotch disease. Therefore, chitosan and silver nano-particle could be used as alternative methods for the management of spot blotch disease.

“…In this sense, cellulose, starch, pectin, chitin, and chitosan are polysaccharides with interesting applications in agriculture. Chitin and chitosan are carbohydrate biopolymers that can be isolated from marine waste and microorganisms; these biopolymers are widely studied for high biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, film-forming ability, antimicrobial activity, and specific interactions with phytopathogenic microorganisms and for improving the productivity of different crops [1,[4][5][6][7][8]. Chitin and chitosan have been used as biostimulants and biocontrol in agriculture [2,9].…”

“…Also, it has been demonstrated that chitosan inhibited the crop damage caused by nematodes and oomycetes when used as a fertilizer, seed treatment, foliar applications, and soil conditioner agent [5]. Chitosan induces a natural defense mechanism to crops by enhancing protective proteins, and proteinase inhibitors, stimulating the synthesis of phytoalexins, chitinases, lignin, and hydrogen peroxide; it also increases the production of reactive oxygen species and inhibiting a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses [1,6,12]. For chitosan agriculture application purposes, chitosan must be soluble in neutral aqueous solutions, thermodynamically stable, and have a small particle size.…”

Chitosan is a non-toxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible natural biopolymer widely used as a nanocarrier, emulsifier, flocculant, and antimicrobial agent with potential applications in industry. Recently, chitosan has been used as an encapsulating agent for bioactive plant compounds and agrochemicals by different technologies, such as spray-drying and nanoemulsions, to enhance antimicrobial activity. Chitosan nanocomposites have been shown to increase potential biocidal, antibacterial, and antifungal activity against pathogens, presenting higher stability, decreasing degradation, and prolonging the effective concentration of these bioactive compounds. Therefore, the objective of this work is to review the most outstanding aspects of the most recent developments in the different methods of encapsulation of bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds, essential oils, among others) from plants, as well as the applications on phytopathogenic diseases (fungi and bacteria) in vitro and in vivo in cereal, fruit and vegetable crops. These perspectives could provide information for the future formulation of products with high efficacy against phytopathogenic diseases as an alternative to chemical products for sustainable agriculture.
