Foliar treatment with proline and tyrosine affect the growth and yield of beetroot and some pigments in beetroot leaves

Abstract: There is interest in increasing the yield and pigment content of beetroot and red beet since conventional agronomic practices or breeding efforts have not produced satisfactory results. Using a local cultivar of red beet (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. cicla) as the model plant, pot experiments were established to determine the effects of proline and tyrosine (used as plant growth regulators and for synthesis of beetroot pigments) on growth and yield and pigment (carotenoids and chlorophyll) levels in leaves. Proline… Show more

“…In other studies, it was also observed that application of these AAs had positive effects on the crops. In a study conducted by El-Sherbeny and da Silva [30] in beet plants, foliar application of tyrosine at a concentration of 0.55 mM increased the vegetative growth of the plants. Additionally, an assay performed with lettuce plants grown in a hydroponic system to which methionine was applied through the roots showed that this application notably improved the performance of the crop [11].…”

“…Most of the amino acids enhanced by microbial treatments in this study had been reported to benefit plant growth. For example, proline (proline-hydroxyproline) could promote plant growth and improve the apparent characteristics [71], leucine was regarded as a stimulator of plant growth, regulating the photosynthesis of crops [72], valine and serine are the precursors of auxin, and methionine, phenylalanine, and threonine were found to be associated with germination [73]. In addition, phenylalanine was reported to be a precursor of anthocyanin, and could promote the biosynthesis of lignin [74].…”

“…Methionine increased the dry weight of shoots in corn [18]. Spraying with proline and tyrosine increased the length and dry weight of beetroot [19]. Cysteine plays a vital role in the cytosol and the mitochondria of plant cells.…”
