“5-Aminolevulinic acid” (5-ALA) is an organic compound containing oxygen and nitrogen. It is the common precursor for the biosynthesis of all porphyrin compounds. It is a species widely found in bacteria, fungi, animals and plants. The non-protein amino acids in life are naturally present in plants, essential for plant life activities, and metabolically active physiologically active substances.
There are no toxic and side effects, easy to degrade and no residue. In agricultural production, it can be used as strong seedling agent, yield increasing agent, color enhancing agent, greening agent, defoliating agent, herbicide, insecticide, and it can also be used as anticancer drug photochemotherapy in clinical medicine. The effect is peculiar when the agent is used.
5-aminolevulinic acid is the prefix compound of tetrahydropyrrole (tetrahydropyrrole is a substance that constitutes heme, cytochrome, and vitamin B12). It is an essential substance for organisms to synthesize chlorophyll, heme, and vitamin B12.
It is often used in agriculture to increase light and efficiency, promote color change, and so on.

“5-Aminolevulinic acid” (5-ALA), as a multifunctional plant growth regulator, is involved in photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration of plants. Not only is it directly involved in the synthesis of plant chlorophyll, heme and phytosensitizer, but it can also significantly promote the transportation of biological information in the body (it can be transported in the plant or generate a certain signal to be transmitted to other parts of the plant), fully activate plant genes, and mobilize excellent plant traits Significant performance.
Increase the chlorophyll content, enhance the electron transfer activity of the donor side and the acceptor side of the photosystem II reaction center, and improve the efficiency of photosynthetic energy conversion. Increase the stomata opening of the blade and improve the carbon dioxide fixation ability. Promote transpiration, increase the absorption and utilization and transformation efficiency of soil mineral elements by crop roots.
Therefore, 5-ALA can promote seed germination, shorten the production cycle, reduce the amount of fertilizer, improve fertilizer utilization efficiency, cultivate strong seedlings, promote early maturity of fruits, increase sugar and color, improve crop resistance and growth robustness, significantly increase production, improve quality, etc. Kind of function.
