Exogenous Application of Amino Acids Improves the Growth and Yield of Lettuce by Enhancing Photosynthetic Assimilation and Nutrient Availability

Abstract: As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Several studies have illustrated the effects of different amino acids on lettuce plant parts. However, the effects of applying single amino acids on root growth remain elusive. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of root application of L-methionine on the growth of lettuce. In this study, two successive experiments on butterhead lettuce were conducted under hydroponic conditions. Three… Show more

“…Similarly, exogenous application of glycine at 0, 5, 10 and 20 mM in Chorispora bungeana showed that 10 mM was best to improve plant growth trait of leaf biochemical reactions, while application of 20 mM glycine showed an opposite effect [40]. Lettuce growth was also improved by applying l-methionine at the lowest concentrations of 0.2 mg/L rather than higher concentrations [14]. The ANOVA for number of fruits and total yield in plant was significant at P = 0.01 (Table 4).…”

“…In the present study, all mineral nutrients were influenced by glycine, particularly in soil application. The enhancement in leaf mineral nutrients due to application of glycine [20,21,41] or even other amino acids [3,9,14,17] has been reported. In a study with lettuce plants only leaf Zn, but not other minerals, was increased by foliar application of 500 ppm glycine [2].…”

“…Different amino acids (L-methionine, L-glycine and L-tryptophan at 20, 210 and 220 mg/L, respectively) were applied separately on hydroponically grown butterhead lettuce to assess their stimulators role [29]. In their study, L-methionine boosted lettuce growth parameters, whereas a negative effect was observed when L-glycine and L-tryptophan were applied.…”
