Chitin Oligosaccharides (contains N-Acetylglucosamine)
QUICK LINKS
Chitin oligosaccharides, which contain N-Acetylglucosamine, function as signaling molecules in various biological processes. They have been found to modulate plant growth and development, as well as to enhance the defense mechanisms of plants against pathogens. Chitin oligosaccharides are known to interact with specific receptors on the surface of plant cells, triggering events that ultimately lead to the activation of defense-related genes. This mode of action allows chitin oligosaccharides to play a role in priming the plant′s immune system, preparing it to respond more effectively to potential threats. Chitin oligosaccharides stimulate the production of certain enzymes and secondary metabolites that contribute to the plant′s defense response. Chitin oligosaccharides, containing N-Acetylglucosamine, serve as important signaling molecules in the regulation of plant growth and defense mechanisms.
