DOSE DEPENDENT AND TIME COURSE ELICITOR ACTIVITY OF CODIUM ELONGATUM AND ULVA LACTULUS (GREEN ALGAE) OF KARACHI COAST

FATIMA BI AND SEEMA IQBAL

Abstract: High molecular weight crude polysaccharides obtained from green algal plants Codium elongatum and Ulva lactulus were evaluated as an elicitor of disease resistance response in chickpea tissues in terms of induced browning and production of induced secondary metabolites. The results were recorded as a function of time and doses of elicitor employed. Hplc method was developed for the separation of complex mixture of induced secondary metabolites.
