“…Low levels of 5-ALA have been reported to be very effective in promoting the growth and development of plants, animals, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria (Balestrasse et al, 2010;Chakraborty and Tripathy, 1990). In recent years, plant growth and yield have been improved by using ALA as an exogenous agent (Al-Qurashi and Awad, 2011;Akram et al, 2012;Balestrasse et al, 2010;Korkmaz, 2012;Li et al, 2011). In this study, 5-ALAtreated fruits showed improved weight by 9-17% and significantly increased length and diameter compared with those of the control (Fig.…”

“…5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a delta amino acid that has a carbonyl group at the fourth carbon [1], which naturally presents in plants, animals, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria [2][3][4]. There are two distinct pathways for 5-ALA biosynthesized; from glutamate in plants/bacteria or from the succinyl-coenzyme A and glycine in animals.…”

Objective: This study investigated the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) on the motility parameters, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and ATP levels in chicken sperm.Methods: The pooled semen from Barred Plymouth Rock males was used. In the first experiment, the semen was diluted 4-times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS (-)) containing various concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mM) of 5-ALA, and then the sperm motility parameters after incubation were evaluated by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). In the second experiment, the semen was diluted 4-times with PBS (-) containing 0.05 mM 5-ALA, and then sperm mitochondrial membrane depolarization and ATP levels after 1.5 h of incubation were analyzed with the MitoPT® JC-1 Assay and ATP Assay kits, respectively. In the third experiment, the semen was removed from the seminal plasma and resuspended with the mediums of PBS (-), PBS (-) supplemented with CaCl2 and MgCl2 (PBS (+)) + 5-ALA, PBS (+) + caffeine, and PBS (+) + caffeine + 5-ALA. Then, the sperm motility parameters after incubation were evaluated by CASA. In the last experiment, the semen was treated with the mediums of PBS (-), PBS (-) + 5-ALA, 5.7% glucose, 5.7% glucose + 5-ALA after removing the seminal plasma, and then the sperm motility parameters were evaluated by CASA.Results: The addition of 0.05 mM 5-ALA significantly increased the chicken sperm motility, progressive motility, linearity, average path velocity, curvilinear velocity, straight-line velocity, and the wobble. The sperm mitochondrial membrane depolarization was also increased by the 5-ALA treatment. The 5-ALA treatment decreased the sperm ATP levels. Both the caffeine treatment and glucose treatment decreased the sperm motility during incubation period.Conclusion: 5-ALA might increase sperm mitochondrial membrane depolarization to utilize the ATP for enhancing sperm movement.

“…Pentakeep V is a multicomponent fertilizer with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) as an active substance [17]. ALA is naturally found in plants, animals, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria, and it is known as the first common precursor of all tetrapyrroles such as vitamin B12, chlorophyll, heme, and phytochrome [18,19]. Foliar application of ALA to plants can increase chlorophyll content in leaves and increases plants' ability to absorb light, which is especially important in cover cultivations and in the spring and autumn-winter periods when light deficiency is the basic factor inhibiting plant growth and development [20,21].…”

Effect of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA) on the Biochemical and Physiological Parameters of Postharvest Quality of Polygonatum multiflorum L. All. ‘Variegatum’ Cut Foliage

2020

Due to the dynamic development of the floriculture market, new species and varieties of plants that can potentially be used as a source of cut greenery are constantly being sought. The experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of the cultivation site (unheated foil tunnel and open field) and treatments with the Pentakeep V formulation (0.00%, 0.02%, 0.04%, and 0.06%) on the vase life and postharvest quality of Polygonatum multiflorum ‘Variegatum’ cut foliage. There was a positive effect of the cultivation in the unheated foil tunnel on the vase life and biochemical parameters, namely the electrolyte leakage (EL), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), chlorophyll a + b (Chl. a + b), proline, peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), of P. multiflorum cut foliage. Foliar application of Pentakeep V formulation at concentrations of 0.04% and 0.06% contributed to a decrease in the TBARS content in the P. multiflorum cut leaves, regardless of the plant cultivation site. Additionally, it reduced proline production in cut leaves of P. multiflorum cultivated in the unheated foil tunnel, which was confirmed by the analyses carried out after the 30 days of the experiment. Furthermore, the exogenous application of ALA during P. multiflorum cultivation inhibited POD activity, irrespective of its concentration and the site of plant cultivation.
