“…Our findings showed that seed treatment with JA WSPs may have contributed to increasing the synthesis of chitinases and β-1,3-glucanase making the plant protected against pathogen attack. Ghule et al [78] demonstrated that the activity of both these defense enzymes was increased in fenugreek plants derived from seeds treated with the marine polysaccharide chitosan. Following this treatment, plants were protected against root rot disease by Fusarium solani.…”

Managing soil-borne pathogens is complex due to the restriction of the most effective synthetic fungicides for soil treatment. In this study, we showed that seed priming with Jania adhaerens water-soluble polysaccharides (JA WSPs) was successful in protecting tomato plants from the soil-borne pathogens Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum, and Fusarium oxysporum under greenhouse conditions. WSPs were extracted from dry thallus by autoclave-assisted method, and the main functional groups were characterized by using FT-IR spectroscopy. WSPs were applied by seed treatment at 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2 mg/mL doses, and each pathogen was inoculated singly in a growing substrate before seeding/transplant. Overall, WSPs increased seedling emergence, reduced disease severity and increased plant development depending on the dose. Transcriptional expression of genes related to phenylpropanoid, chlorogenic acid, SAR and ISR pathways, and chitinase and β-1,3 glucanase activities were investigated. Among the studied genes, HQT, HCT, and PR1 were significantly upregulated depending on the dose, while all doses increased PAL and PR2 expression as well as β-1,3 glucanase activity. These results demonstrated that, besides their plant growth promotion activity, JA WSPs may play a protective role in triggering plant defense responses potentially correlated to disease control against soil-borne pathogens.

“…[70] Therefore, in in vivo approaches, it becomes crucial to analyze plant physiology when treating plants with chitosan or COS to prevent fungal infection. For example, in a study performed by Ghule et al (2021), [71] fenugreek seeds treated with chitosan (Mw not mentioned, DD = 76.4 %) exhibited reduced F. solani infection and increased seed germination. Another study using COS (0.5 to 0.8 kDa, DD = 85 %) also showed that these molecules were capable of inhibiting the growth of F. oxysporum and M. oryzae and stimulating defense pathways such as the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid pathways, [72] which play a role in activating defense systems against pathogen attacks, conferring local resistance in the infected area and systemic resistance at the plant level.…”

Chitosan is a cationic polysaccharide derived from chitin deacetylation. This polysaccharide and its oligosaccharides have many biological activities and can be used in several fields due to their favorable characteristics, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non‐toxicity. This review explores the antifungal potential of chitosan and chitooligosaccharides and the conditions needed for their activity and mechanisms of action to kill the fungal cells. Chitosan and chitooligosaccharides sources, chemical properties and applications are discussed in this review. It also addresses the threat fungi pose to human health and crop production and how these saccharides have proven effective against these microorganisms. The mechanisms underlying the antifungal activity, the cellular processes triggered by chitosan and chitooligosaccharides in fungal cells, and the future perspectives for their use as potential antifungal agents are also examined.

“…A different use of chitosan in agriculture is applied. Chitosan treatments as a solution for seed soaking or coating provide an antifungal seed treatment, providing protection against seed-borne or soil-borne pathogenic fungi, which can significantly lower seed germination and plant emergence in the field [ 207 , 208 ]. Furthermore, chitosan as a polymer for protection was used as a film on postharvest decay of fresh fruits and vegetables [ 209 , 210 ].…”

Chitin and Chitosan as Polymers of the Future—Obtaining, Modification, Life Cycle Assessment and Main Directions of Application

et al. 2023

Natural polymers are very widespread in the world, which is why it is so important to know about the possibilities of their use. Chitin is the second most abundant reproducible natural polymer in nature; however, it is insoluble in water and basic solvents. Chitin is an unused waste of the food industry, for which there are possibilities of secondary management. The research led to obtaining a soluble, environmentally friendly form of chitin, which has found potential applications in the many fields, e.g., medicine, cosmetics, food and textile industries, agriculture, etc. The deacetylated form of chitin, which is chitosan, has a number of beneficial properties and wide possibilities of modification. Modification possibilities mean that we can obtain chitosan with the desired functional properties, facilitating, for example, the processing of this polymer and expanding the possibilities of its application, also as biomimetic materials. The review contains a rich description of the possibilities of modifying chitin and chitosan and the main directions of their application, and life cycle assessment (LCA)—from the source of the polymer through production materials to various applications with the reduction of waste.
