Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation A highly active glucopentaose elicitor was purified from the fungal glucan digest.
- Intervention effect Synthetic hexa-beta-glucoside did not induce rice phytoalexin synthesis.
- Intervention effect Fungal beta-glucan fragments did not induce soybean phytoalexin synthesis.
- Mechanism Rice cells were inferred to recognize at least two fungal wall oligosaccharide types as defense signals.
