Physiological Effects of Exogenous Chitosan on Seedlings of Anthurium andraeanum L.under Drought Stress

Xin Cong

Abstract

The seedlings of Anthurium andraeanum under drought stress were treated with 0.2%,0.4% and 0.6% exogenous chitosan(CTS).The results indicated that exogenous CTS could reduce malondialdehyde(MDA) content and electrical conductivity,and increase proline,soluble sugar and anthocyanin contents and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,the best effect of CTS was 0.6%.
