    Abstract:
    A study of biological activity of the derivatives of the chitin-chitosan oligomer with salicylic acid and its fragments showed that chitosan salicylate actively protected potato tubers against Phytophthora infestans but sharply inhibited reparation of potato tissues. N-(2-Hydroxybenzyl)chitosan exhibited good protective properties but did not influence wound reparation. N-(2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-N-pyridox-chitosan, which contained the pyridoxal and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy fragments, was the most efficient, stimulating both defense against late blight and wound reparation in potato tissues.
