Why using LIN-COS?

  • LIN-COS is agriculture grade of chitosan oligosaccharide,
  • Plant responds to infection using an innate immune system.
  • LIN-COS is a natural biomacromolecular that can significantly trigger plant innate immune system.
  • LIN-COS, as one of the most important elicitors, has been proved to elicit plant defense response to a broad spectrum of phytopathogens-virus, fungus and bacteria.
Plant immunity

What is LIN-COS?

LIN-COS is Chitosan Oligosaccharide, also known as chitosan oligosaccharide and oligochitosan, is a kind of polymerization degree obtained by degrading chitosan by special biological enzyme technology The oligosaccharide product with a molecular weight of ≤3200Da is a low molecular weight product with good water solubility, large functional effect and high biological activity. It has higher solubility than chitosan, is completely soluble in water, and is easily absorbed and utilized by organisms. It has 14 times of its function as chitosan.

Chitooligosaccharides are the only positively charged cationic basic aminooligosaccharides in nature and are animal cellulose.

Plant responds to infection using an innate immune system.

Infection mechanism of Metarhizium anisopliae in cockroach

Metarhizium anisopliae is a fungal insecticide, and conidia is the effective component of its insecticidal activity.

When conidia contacting and attaching to cockroach, it germinates and penetrates the cockroach body walls; then invades into the body, grows and reproduces rapidly in the blood of the cockroach, and compete for the nutrients with the tissues of cockroach, making them weak and stop feeding.

At later stage, the fungi secretes toxins, which affects the central nervous system of cockroach, destroys its various organs, and dehydrates its tissues, then causes death of cockroach.

The hyphae of Metarhizium anisopliae in the dead cockroach extend through the internode membrane and produce conidia.

The conidia continue to infect other pest individuals through contact infestation or air-borne and wind diffusion, and form repeated infestation in the roach population.
