METHOD OF ENHANCING SEED GERMINATION UNDER ABIOTIC STRESS WITH CHITIN OLIGOSACCHARIDES

摘要

The present disclosure provides methods of enhancing abiotic stress tolerance in plants and plant propagation materials. In some embodiments, the method comprises applying at least one chitin oligosaccharide to the plant or plant propagation material in an amount effective to enhance its cold tolerance, heat tolerance, drought tolerance, pH tolerance and/or salt tolerance.
