Chitosan mitigates water stress in cowpea plants through modulation of growth, homeostasis, and antioxidant activities

Chitosan mitigates water stress in cowpea plants through modulation of growth, homeostasis, and antioxidant activities

IntroductionClimate change and population growth increase food demand, especially in semi-arid regions. Water deficit affects cowpea productivity, but foliar application of chitosan can improve its tolerance, stimulating antioxidant activity and growth. This study analyzed chitosan application in co...
