Chitin-Induced Airway Epithelial Cell Innate Immune Responses Are Inhibited by Carvacrol/Thymol. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Chitin is produced in large amounts by fungi, insects, and other organisms and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. Airway epithelial cells are in direct contact with environmental particles and serve as the first line of defense against ...

LYM2 mediates chitin-induced plasmodesmal flux reduction in Populus x canescens [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionLysin motif domain-containing glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored protein 2 (LYM2) is a GPI-anchored LysM receptor-like protein (LysM-RLP) that harbors three extracellular LysM-domains and a GPI moiety at the C- terminus. In rice, the LYM2

Chitin-induced systemic disease resistance in rice requires both OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP and is mediated via perturbation of cell-wall biogenesis in leaves [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Chitin is a well-known elicitor of disease resistance and its recognition by plants is crucial to perceive fungal infections. Chitin can induce both a local immune response and a systemic disease resistance when provided as a supplement in soils.

Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

Chitin nanofiber elucidates the elicitor activity of polymeric chitin in plants [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Chitin, an N-acetyl-D-glucosamine polymer, is a component of fungal cell walls and a microbe/pathogen-associated molecular pattern that elicits plant defense responses.

Conversion of a recA-Mediated Non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 Strain to a Toxigenic Strain Using Chitin-Induced Transformation [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains, including strains in serogroups O1 and O139 associated with the clinical disease cholera, are ubiquitous in aquatic reservoirs, including fresh, estuarine, and marine environments.

Linnemannia elongata: A Key Species in Chitin-Based Plant Growth Promotion

Phytobiomes Journal
Chitin has proven to be a valuable alternative to mineral fertilizers in growing media. We recently hypothesized that chitin might work as a biostimulant, attracting plant growth-promoting microbes to the rhizosphere.

Fungal dual-domain LysM effectors undergo chitin-induced intermolecular, and not intramolecular, dimerization. [PDF]

Plant Physiol, 2022
Chitin is a homopolymer of β-(1,4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and a major structural component of fungal cell walls. In plants, chitin acts as a microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) that is recognized by lysin motif (LysM)-containing ...
