“…Previous works reported actions of chitosan as fertilizer, taking into account the amino groups of the polymer or antitranspirant effect through promoting stomata closure and activation of other physiological processes (Chibu et al, 2002;Ohta et al, 2004;Iriti et al, 2009). However, in the above cases, the dose used is much higher than that used in the present work and could justify such actions.…”

“…ABA, a phytohormone accumulated rapidly in the leaf during drought stress, typically causes a decrease in stomatal aperture and transpiration rate (Iriti et al, 2009). At 40 • C, a temperature often achieved by sun-exposed leaves in the field (Feller, 2006) Fig.…”

“…biomass production, yield or survival), initial responses to stress (e.g. changes in carboxylation efficiency, stomatal limitations, accumulation of protective solutes) occur at the leaf level (Haldimann and Feller, 2004;Flexas et al, 2004;Iriti et al, 2009). At the interface between atmosphere and plant, leaf stomata provide the entryway for CO 2 for photosynthetic carbon fixation, while preventing excessive water loss.…”

“…When chitosan is sprayed in leaves, abscisic acid (ABA) content increases [217]. It promotes the activation of defense mechanisms which allow plants to deal with stress and to defend against diseases due to the antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial nature of chitosan [218,219].…”
