HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Chitin and chitosan are two related polysaccharides that provide important structural stability to fungal cell walls. Often embedded deeply within the cell wall structure, these molecules anchor other components at the cell surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chitin, a biopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine with some glucosamine, is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans and insects, the radulas of mollusks and the beaks of cephalopods.

Detailed explanation-3: -The major constituents of the fungal cell wall are chitin, glucans, and glycoproteins. Chitin is a structurally important component of the fungal cell wall located closest to the plasma membrane. The composition of the outer layer varies, depending on the fungal species, morphotype, and growth stage.
