• A Biopolymer Chitosan and Its Derivatives as Promising Antimicrobial Agents against Plant Pathogens and Their Applications in Crop Protection (2011, background): “After treatment with chitosan, various defense responses have been induced, including the elicitation of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity in grape berries [324, 346], chitinase, and β-1,3-glucanase in oranges, strawberries, and raspberries [345, 347, 348].”
• Antifungal activity of eugenol against Botrytis cinerea (2010, background): “Currently, there is a worldwide trend to explore new alternatives to synthetic fungicides in order to minimize the risks associated with the development of populations insensitive to these chemical compounds (Elad, 1991; Yourman & Jeffers, 1999) and also to comply with food safety standards (Liu et ”
• Induction of phenolics, lignin and key defense enzymes in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) roots in response to elicitors (2010, background): “CHT treatment induced a significant increase in the activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), and enhanced the content of phenolic compounds in tomato fruits, thus providing protection against both gray and blue mould diseases (Liu et al. 2007).”
• Effect of chitosan on growth and plasma membrane properties of Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.:Fr.) Vuill (2010, background): “01–1%) markedly inhibited mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum, with the greater inhibitory effects at the higher concentration [27].”
