Chitosaccharides have hormonal effects on plants. These include reactions like increased stem elongation, stimulation of ethylene production, and resistance to auxins. However, they are best known for stimulating various plant defense mechanisms.
It has been observed that when fungal infections attack plants, beta-glucans are biosynthesized from the plant cell walls. This substance starts dissolving the fungal cell walls, producing fragments that enhance various defensive responses in the plant.
Some of these fragments are beta-glucans, which act as pathogenic analogs. Based on the principle of plant immunity, they stimulate the plant to produce protective compounds, thereby effectively controlling fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases.
Chitosaccharides, being highly efficient in activating chitosan-related genes, can mimic or replace other plant hormones and regulate plant growth processes. They also help improve root development, overall plant growth, and enhance photosynthesis.
