Amino butyric acid achieves multiple functions, becoming the "King of Enhancement"!
Gamma-aminobutyric acid is a natural amino acid composed of non-protein substances, widely found in both animals and plants. The seeds, roots, and tissue fluids of plants (such as legumes, three species, and traditional Chinese medicine) all contain gamma-aminobutyric acid. In animals, gamma-aminobutyric acid is almost exclusively found in nervous tissue, with a concentration of about 0.1-0.6 mg per gram of brain tissue. Immunological studies indicate that the area with the highest concentration is the substantia nigra of the brain. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is neither a pesticide nor a plant growth regulator or traditional fertilizer; it is a green, safe, and efficient biostimulant with a clear mechanism as a cell signaling inducer.
Speaking of chemical substances, gamma-aminobutyric acid was artificially synthesized as early as 1883, and in 1950, a research group first discovered gamma-aminobutyric acid in mammalian brain extracts, which has been scientifically confirmed to have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system of mammals. After decades of research and development, gamma-aminobutyric acid has been approved as a new resource food and is widely used in food, beverages, and more.
In the agricultural field, major research institutes both domestically and internationally have conducted varying degrees of research on gamma-aminobutyric acid and have carried out many targeted experiments based on the insights into its mechanism of action on plants (involvement in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and polyamine synthesis). Gamma-aminobutyric acid in plants has a dual role as a metabolite and signaling substance, participating in many important physiological processes of plants. It promotes photosynthesis, affects energy metabolism, promotes plant nutritional growth and reproduction, enhances plant resistance to various adversities, and facilitates the absorption of trace elements.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid is easily soluble in water, has stable chemical properties, and is resistant to acid and alkali (stable at pH 3-11), and it works well with various media. Through a large number of compatibility experiments and practical applications, gamma-aminobutyric acid has shown good synergistic effects and flexibility. It can be used directly after dilution or added as an active agent to fertilizers and fertilizer formulations, acting on plants through foliar spraying, drip irrigation, and other methods.
Currently, gamma-aminobutyric acid suitable for adding to solid and liquid fertilizers and pesticides has been successfully trialed in 50% aqueous solution and 98% crystalline forms. The optimization of the process has broken through high costs, promoting the application of amino acids as functional enhancers.
What magical effects does gamma-aminobutyric acid have?
1. Promotes plant nutritional growth and enhances the absorption of major nutrients.
2. Promotes reproductive growth in plants.
3. Enhances plant resistance to stress.
