Cell signalling by oligosaccharides

Regulation of functional activities and essential oil production in Vetiveria zizanioides L. Nash after γ-irradiated sodium alginate elicitation

“…The beneficial effect of ISA on the enzyme activities was also registered in the present study. Improvement in physiological attributes might be attributed to the ISAmediated stimulation of gene expression, leading to an improvement in enzymatic activities, photosynthetic pigments, and net photosynthetic rate (Farmer et al, 1991;John et al, 1997).…”

Oligosaccharins, brassinolides, and jasmonates: nontraditional regulators of plant growth, development, and gene expression.

“…Instead, we briefly focus on those oligosaccharins that exert dramatic effects on plant growth and development that are unrelated to disease responses. Additional information can be obtained in other excellent reviews covering oligosaccharins as elicitors and growth modulators (Aldington and Fry, 1993;Fry et al, 1993a;Côté and Hahn, 1994;Fry, 1994;Ozeretskovskaya and Romenskaya, 1996;John et al, 1997).…”

Comparative study on wheat grains produced from plants treated by irradiated sodium alginate and stored in refrigerator with newly planted on vitality, quality, and their resistance to lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica)

“…Also, Afatab et al (2011) stated that the application of ISA might improve photosynthetic capacity and photosynthetic pigments. The important role of SA-oligosaccharides has been recognized in inducing cell signaling in various plants, leading to stimulation of various physiological processes (John et al, 1997). Enhancement in -photosynthesis and CO 2 assimilation or improve photosynthetic capacity and photosynthetic pigments as mentioned above perform to increase in sugar content in plants and amino acids content of the plants as a result of treating with (ISA).…”
