Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid GABA has the following functions during crop growth:
- Promote photosynthesis and affect energy metabolism
- Promote plant vegetative and reproductive growth
- Improve plants’ resistance to different stresses (high temperature, low temperature, drought, salt damage, etc.)
- It can promote the absorption of medium and trace elements by plants.
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid GABA is not only easily soluble in water, but also has stable chemical properties. It is acid and alkali resistant (stable at pH 3-11). And it has good compound compatibility with various media. Through a large number of compatibility tests and practical applications, GABA has shown good synergy and flexibility. It can directly use after dilution, or it can add to fertilizers as synergist, act on plants through leaf spray, drip irrigation, etc.
At present, GABA suitable for adding pesticides to solid and liquid fertilizers has been successfully produced, with 30% aqueous agent and 95-98% crystal respectively. The optimization of the process has broken through the high cost, allowing GABA to be popularized and applied as a functional synergist.
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid GABA affects the levels of plant signaling substances (endogenous hormones)
The synthesis of GABA regulates plant growth and development. Research shows that GABA can stimulate sunflower seedlings to produce ethylene, and ethylene can affect the growth of plant stems. Less than 0.5mmol·L-1 GABA can promote the elongation and growth of the stems of Caryophyllaceae plants.
Experiments show that: Under normal water hydroponics and 50ppm GABA treatment, garlic roots and leaves treated with GABA grow faster and have obvious stimulating effects.
Wellyou gamma-aminobutyric acid uses bacillus subtilis as the base cell, with high-throughput screening technology and enzyme directed evolution transformation technology, and with whole-cell transformation method. The product has high activity. It is a safe, green and efficient biostimulant is a cell signal inducer with a clear mechanism.
