Overview | "5-aminolevulinic acid" (5-ALA) is an organic compound containing oxygen and nitrogen, it is a common precursor of all porphyrin compounds biosynthesis, is a kind of non-protein amino acids widely exist in bacteria, fungi, animals and plants and other living body, is naturally occurring in plants, physiologically active substances necessary for plant life activities and active metabolism. No toxic side effects, easy degradation and no residue, in agricultural production can be used as a strong agent, production agent, color agent, Green agent, defoliant, herbicide, insecticide, it can also be used as an anticancer drug photochemotherapy agent in clinical medicine, and the effect is peculiar. |
mechanism of action | 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a multifunctional plant growth regulator, it is involved in photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration of plants. Not only directly involved in plant chlorophyll, heme and photosensitizer synthesis, but also can significantly promote the in vivo transport of biological information (can be transported in plants or produce some kind of signal transmission to other parts of plants), fully activate the plant genes, and mobilize the plant excellent traits significantly; Increase the chlorophyll content, enhance the photosystem II reaction center donor side and acceptor side electron transfer activity, improve photosynthetic energy conversion efficiency; increase the leaf stomatal aperture, improve the fixing ability of carbon dioxide; Promote transpiration, increase the absorption and utilization of soil mineral elements and transformation efficiency of crop roots. Therefore, 5-ALA can promote seed germination, shorten the production cycle, reduce the amount of fertilizer, improve fertilizer use efficiency, cultivate strong seedlings, promote early fruit ripening, increase sugar and color, improve crop resistance and growth robustness, significantly increase production, improve quality and other functions. |
Application | 5-aminolevulinic acid plays an important role in agriculture as a growth promoting factor, can regulate a series of physiological and biochemical processes in plants, promote plant growth and increase crop yield; Under the condition of low concentration can promote the growth of various crops, improve crop yield; Can alleviate the abiotic stress on plant growth, yield and agricultural production, such as drought stress, salt stress, low temperature stress, high temperature stress, heavy metal stress (chromium and lead) and ultraviolet radiation and other abiotic stress damage. |
biological activity | 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a non-protein amino acid, it plays a rate-limiting role in heme biosynthesis. |
Use | 5-aminolevulinic acid has the function of plant growth stimulating hormone, which can promote crops, fruit trees, vegetables, garden plants and other growth, improve yield, improve quality, crop yield up to 10-60%, and because in the environment is easy to degrade the characteristics of no residue, it can also be used as a green herbicide and insecticide; In the field of feed, can improve anemia, improve the immunity of livestock and other animals; In medicine, it can be used as a new generation of Photodynamic drugs, it is used for cancer diagnosis and treatment; It is also used as an additive ingredient in cosmetics, as well as in health foods, and also in biochemical research. |
