Chitosan induces Ca2+ -mediated programmed cell death in soybean cells

•  Chitosan, a component of the cell wall of many fungi, has been widely used to mimic pathogen attack and has been shown to induce several defence responses. •  Here we show that low concentrations (50 µg ml-1 ) of chitosan are able to induce an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+ ]cyt...
