Induction of defense in apples by sulfated and deacetylated chichá gum
Elicitors activate the defense mechanism in plants to resist pathogens. Ulvans and glucuronans can act as elicitors, and their activity seems to be related to the sulfate groups, rhamnose and uronic acid monosaccharides.

Electrospun biocomposite nanofibers of ulvan/PCL and ulvan/PEO
ABSTRACTNovel fibrous biocomposites comprising ulvan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the green seaweed Ulva rigida, and either polycaprolactone or polyethylene oxide were successfully prepared using the electrospinning technique. The morphology and the chemical composition of the nanofibers were characterized using SEM and FT‐IR analyses ...
