Chitin oligosaccharides elicited chitinase activity in melon plants. Hexamer to nonamer were the most efficient elicitors: hexamer for maximal stimulation of colorimetrically assessed chitinase activity, heptamer for maximal stimulation of radiochemically assessed chitinase activity. Chitinase elicitation was a rapid response to these elicitors: it occurred within 6 hours after treatment and was maximal at 12-24 hours. In addition, chitinase induction in melon plants by these oligosaccharides was both local and systemic.
壳寡糖能诱导甜瓜植株产生几丁质酶活性。六聚体至九聚体是最有效的诱导剂：六聚体可最大程度刺激比色法测定的几丁质酶活性，七聚体可最大程度刺激放射化学法测定的几丁质酶活性。几丁质酶的诱导是对这些诱导剂的快速反应：在处理后6小时内发生，在12 - 24小时达到最大值。此外，这些寡糖对甜瓜植株几丁质酶的诱导作用既有局部性的，也有系统性的。
