5-Aminolevulinic Acid–Multifunctional Regulator

5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is an organic compound containing oxygen and nitrogen. It is a common precursor for the biosynthesis of all porphyrin compounds. Non-protein amino acids in the body. Physiologically active substances that naturally exist in plants, are necessary for plant life activities, and have active metabolism. No toxic side effects, easy to degrade without residue. In agricultural production, as seedling-strengthening agent, yield-increasing agent, color enhancer, greening agent, defoliant, herbicide, and insecticide. It can also be used as an anticancer drug photochemotherapy in clinical medicine.

5-ALA action principle and application direction

1. All aspects of crop traits are determined and expressed by the crop’s own genes (that is, gene expression). These genes can be biologically induced or stimulated to make their traits more distinct, prominent, sufficient, and excellent.
2. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) can significantly promote, enhance and strengthen the expression of these genes in plants.
3. The amino acid compound 5-ALA is a pollution-free natural substance with biodegradability and does not cause insecticide resistance, so it has excellent practical and ecological effects in agricultural production.

10 functions of 5-aminolevulinic acid

1. Quickly activate plant genes and induce the expression of transcription factors.
2. Promote the synthesis of plant hormones and increase the activity of plant hormones.
3. Promote the opening of stomata and increase the exchange of water and air.
4. Increase the transpiration pull, guide the root system to absorb, transport and distribute soil nutrients, and improve the efficiency of fertilizer use.
5. Promote chlorophyll synthesis, stabilize photosynthetic electron transfer, improve photosynthetic efficiency, and increase photosynthetic yield accumulation.
6. Induce the expression of germin gene to promote early germination of seeds.
7. Increase root activity, promote seedling growth, delay plant aging, increase crop yield, and improve product quality.
8. Promote fruit setting of fruit trees and increase fruit yield.
9. Promote the synthesis of anthocyanins in the peel, improve the internal and external quality of the fruit, and prolong the storage period of the fruit.
10. Promote the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes, and enhance the ability of crops to resist various adversity stresses such as high temperature, low temperature, strong light, low light, drought, salinity, and barrenness.
