“…Chitosan and its derivatives are believed to be the effective natural fungicides due to their antimicrobial and elicitation activities (Ben-Shalom, Ardi, Pinto, Aki, & Fallik, 2003;Xu et al, 2007). In this work, the in vitro results demonstrated that spore germination, mycelial growth and colony morphology of P. digitatum P4 were affected by the WSC.…”

Effect of water-soluble chitosan (WSC) on green mould disease caused by Penicillium digitatum P4 was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Results of the experiments showed that P. digitatum P4 growth was much inhibited by WSC and inhibitory effect increased as WSC concentration increased. In vitro test results indicated that complete inhibition of spore germination and mycelial growth were observed in the medium containing 1 mg/ml WSC. In the in vivo study, WSC treatments significantly reduced disease incidence and lesion diameter of green mould disease on orange fruits. After 8 days of inoculation, the lesion diameter of orange fruits coated by 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% WSC were 5.49 cm, 5.01 cm, 3.22 cm and 1.87 cm, respectively, which smaller than that of control fruits. Biochemical experiments demonstrated that the activities of the main defense-related enzymes in flavedo tissue including chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase were enhanced by both P. digitatum P4 infection treatment and challenged with P. digitatum P4 and treated with WSC treatment. However, these enzymes of samples inoculated with P. digitatum only were lower than samples inoculated with P. digitatum P4 and treated with 2% WSC concentration. These findings suggest that the in vitro and in vivo effects of WSC on controlling green mould disease may be associated with direct antifungal activities and the elicitation of biochemical defense responses in fruit.

“…Soil amendment with chitosan has repeatedly been shown to control fungal diseases in numerous crops, especially Fusarium wilts [31][32][33] and grey mould [34,35]. It is also of note that these studies show chitosan to be fungistatic against both biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens.…”

Abstract:In recent decades, a greater knowledge of chitin chemistry, and the increased availability of chitin-containing waste materials from the seafood industry, have led to the testing and development of chitin-containing products for a wide variety of applications in the agriculture industry. A number of modes of action have been proposed for how chitin and its derivatives can improve crop yield. In addition to direct effects on plant nutrition and plant growth stimulation, chitin-derived products have also been shown to be toxic to plant pests and pathogens, induce plant defenses and stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial microbes. A repeating theme of the published studies is that chitin-based treatments augment and amplify the action of beneficial chitinolytic microbes. This article reviews the evidence for claims that chitin-based products can improve crop yields and the current understanding of the modes of action with a focus on plant-microbe interactions.

Chitosan, chitooligosaccharides and their derivatives have potentially high commercial value. These products are bio-cidal to a broad spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms, insects and pests. Chitindeacetylases play very important role in biological attack and defence system, biological control of fungal plant pathogens. Chitosan derivatives have potential for removal of various aquatic pollutants and detoxification of water and waste water. Naturally occurring amino-polysaccharides have unique physicochemical characteristics and biological activities in agri cultural operations like seed priming coating and spray agents having barrier properties. The patent effect of chitosan derivatives on plant disease control, growth promoter, elicitation of defence responces, thus preserving crop yield and quality.
