2 8 3 ino acids help increase chlorophyll concentration in plants , leading to a higher degree of photosynthesis , which in turn leads to even more available energy .
Amino acids may be some of the most important supplements available to give your plants , yet not much is commonly known about their role in plant physiology . Amino acids are quite literally the foundation of life , especially when it comes to plants . As far as we know now , in all life on earth , out of the millions of proteins that help form every species of plant and animal there are more than 100 amino acids that are the building blocks for these proteins , only about 20 of which are found in humans and animals . Whether the goal is to get bigger flowers , a record-breaking pumpkin , or just a ton of vegetative growth , amino acids are critical ! The results they deliver are due to the extreme quantities of the cells whose foundation consists of amino acids being produced by the plant . It takes energy for plants to synthesize the amino acids required to create those cells . If your plant can utilize supplementary amino acids without having to create them itself out of oxygen , carbon , nitrogen , hydrogen and sometimes sulfur , your plant has much more available energy to use where it deems necessary . This helps it maintain not only vigorous growth but pest and disease resistance as well . The quality of the amino acids , or more importantly , what living thing originally synthesized them , plays a significant role in the strength of the cells they become . Their quality helps to determine what three-dimensional structures can be formed by these amino acids as well as the strength of these structures when utilized , or placed within a cell . This is why you only want to use plant-based amino acid supplements in your garden . Amino acids also help with many symbiotic processes that improve many aspects of plants , soil and microbiology . In the soil , they are amazing chelators . They can be activators or precursors to beneficial growth auxins and phytohormones . Amino acids also improve the beneficial microflora in various ways such as by strengthening the outer walls , allowing them to withstand harsher conditions . Happier , stronger microbial colonies help produce better nutrient uptake , as well as a more extensive and healthy root system that can fight diseases and maintain effectiveness in adverse environmental conditions . Although amino acids have many positive benefits in the soil , many amino acids can only be absorbed through the stomata of the plant via a foliar feed or spray application . When amino acids are properly applied , the impacts are profound . Some of the most notable impacts include the following :
Stress Resistance
Stress factors such as high temperatures , low humidity , frosts , pest attacks , hail storms or floods have a negative effect on plant metabolism with a corresponding reduction in crop quality and quantity . The application of amino acids before , during and after stressful conditions supplies the plants with components directly related to stress physiology and thus has both a preventative and recovering effect .
Improved Photosynthesis
Amino acids are fundamental in chlorophyll production . Chlorophyll being the driving force behind photosynthesis . Amino acids help to increase chlorophyll concentration in the plant , leading to a higher degree of photosynthesis , which in turn leads to even more available energy .
