USE OF ULVANS AS ELICITORS OF MECHANISMS FOR NITROGEN ABSORPTION AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of ulvans, in particular extracts of green algae of the genus Ulva or Enteromorpha, or oligosaccharides derived from ulvans, as elicitors of the mechanisms of nitrogen absorption and protein synthesis. It also relates to a fertilizer product containing ulvans and its use in a plant treatment process.
