5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is an essential precursor for the biosynthesis of tetrapyrrole compounds such as heme, chlorophyll, and vitamin B12, and has an important impact on plant photosynthesis and cellular energy metabolism.
Wellyou 5-ALA is produced by biological methods. The 5-ALA production method based on microbial metabolic engineering has the advantages of low raw material prices, simple and easy-to-operate procedures, and environmental friendliness.
Through the treatment of exogenous 5-ALA, the chlorophyll content in the plant chloroplast can be effectively increased. Because ALA is a necessary prerequisite for chlorophyll biosynthesis. It can regulate the synthesis of chlorophyll, improve photosynthetic efficiency and respiration efficiency, and produce more sugar substances, various enzymes and energy needed for plant growth.
Function of 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA):
- Promote photosynthesis, it is a photosensitizer of plants, sweeten and color.
- Enhance stress resistance, increase antioxidant enzyme activity, and alleviate damage caused by adversity.
- Significant sweetening and coloring. 5-ALA is an essential precursor for the synthesis of chlorophyll, heme, and VB12, and an indispensable substance for life activities.
- Promote plant growth, increase the activity of enzymes involved in photosynthesis, and achieve the effect of improving quality and yield.
Application of in agriculture:
- High concentration (>1000ppm): defoliation, insecticide, fungicide, weed control
- Medium concentration (> 100ppm): promote fruit coloring, fruit tree flower thinning
- Low concentration (<100ppm):
Promote root development and promote seed germination
Promote stomatal opening, increase photosynthesis and respiration rate
Promote nutrient absorption and transportation, increase crop yield, and improve product quality
Delay plant tissue aging and improve plant stress resistance
