Background
In recent years, in the face of the severe fact that the growth of crops is not facilitated due to climate change and low temperature in winter, a countermeasure mainly aiming at defense is made in production, plant antifreezes widely used on crops appear on the market, hormone antifreezes are single in action mechanism and unstable in antifreezing effect, and the search for novel cold-resistant agents with stable effects is urgent.
Chitin (chitin ) produced in nature is estimated to be the next largest biopolymer to cellulose, and it has functional properties richer than the fiber cord, and it is found widely in fungal cell walls, nematode microfibril sheaths, arthropod exoskeleton and many insect gut inner walls. In 1811, scientists in France extracted a cellulose-like substance from mushrooms and named it as chitin, and later heated it in NaOH to obtain a new substance, chitosan. Chitosan (chitosan), chemical name (1, 4) -2-amino-2-deoxy- β -D-glucan, is a water-soluble product produced by deacetylation of chitin with concentrated aqueous alkali, and has a relative molecular mass of usually more than 5000 daltons, and some up to more than 100 kilodaltons. Chitin is limited in its application due to its relatively poor solubility, and chitosan has not only enhanced solubility, but also non-toxicity, good biocompatibility, easy degradation, and a wider application range.
The S-abscisic acid, also called growth balance factor of plant, is a key factor for balancing endogenous hormone of plant and metabolism of related growth active substances, has the capability of promoting plant to absorb water and fertilizer in balance and coordinating metabolism in vivo, can effectively regulate and control root and crown of plant and vegetative growth and reproductive growth, and has important effect on improving quality and yield of crops. Also can be used as stress-resistant induction factor of plants, and can effectively activate the stress-resistant immune system in plants. Has the capability of cultivating sources and consolidating the foundation and enhancing the comprehensive resistance of plants, and plays an important role in reducing disasters and protecting the yield and restoring the ecological environment in agricultural production.
The present invention prepares water soluble chitosan with specific molecular weight with chitosan of deacetylation degree higher than 80% as material and through specific enzyme hydrolysis, reaction end point control, hydrolysate concentration, freeze drying and other steps. The inventors have conducted extensive studies on a composition of chitosan and S-abscisic acid, and have found a composition containing chitosan and S-abscisic acid and having a remarkable cold-resistant effect.

TABLE 24.0% potentiator screening test for Chitosan S-abscisic acid
The results of the 4.0% screening test for the potentiator of chitosan-S-abscisic acid are shown in Table 2. As a result, it was found that the cold injury index of 4.0% chitosan-S-abscisic acid containing different synergists was lower than that of 4.0% chitosan-S-abscisic acid and that of the single-agent control in all of the 4 crops tested, and the cold-resistant effect of 4.0% chitosan-S-abscisic acid containing 10% sodium silicate was significant compared with that of the other treatments, and the cold-resistant effect of the 4.0% chitosan-S-abscisic acid containing 10% chelated calcium was inferior to that of the composition containing 4.0% chitosan-S-abscisic acid containing 10% chelated calcium.
Example 3 microemulsion compositions containing 10% sodium silicate were further tested for cold resistance in plants
The cold damage test of the compositions containing 10 percent of sodium silicate, chitosan and S-abscisic acid in different proportions on plants is further tested: the cold resistance test is carried out on potted plants by using the composition, corresponding single agents and blank controls are set, crop seedlings are sprayed once by 500 times (4-6 leaf period for each seedling), more than 20 plants are sprayed on each crop, the crop is sprayed before low-temperature treatment, the crop seedlings are taken out after the low-temperature treatment is carried out for a period of time and placed at room temperature (about 25 ℃) for cold damage result investigation, the plant height increment (cm) and the average relative chlorophyll content (SPAD) of corn are tested, the grading standard and the calculation formula of the cold damage of the crop leaves are as in example 1, and the results are shown in Table 3.
Table 3 further tests of the Cold resistance of compositions of chitosan and S-abscisic acid in different ratios to crops
The composition of chitosan and S-abscisic acid with different mixture ratio of 10% sodium silicate was tested for further cold resistance test on crops, and the mixture ratio of chitosan and S-abscisic acid was 29:1, 39:1 and 49:1, and the results are shown in Table 3. The results show that in several tested crop seedlings, the plant height increment of the composition containing chitosan and S-abscisic acid in different proportions on corn is lower than that of a control medicament and a clear water control, but the relative chlorophyll content is higher than that of a single-dose control, so that the composition containing the chitosan and the S-abscisic acid cannot cause the excessive growth of crops to promote the cold resistance of the crops during the cold damage period, but promotes the chlorophyll content of the crops to be increased; the cold damage indexes of peanuts, kidney beans and cucumbers are lower than those of single-dose control, and the cold-resistant effect is obvious compared with that of other ratios of 29:1 to 49:1 when the ratio of chitosan to S-abscisic acid is 39: 1.
