“…More interestingly, the overexpressing MdPTPA transgenic tobacco grows better but has less water tolerance, while the overexpressing MdSnRK2.6 transgenic plants are more water-stress-tolerant but grow less. Only the overexpressing MdPP2AC transgenic plants grow better and are more water-stress-tolerant [240]. The findings suggest that ALA and its upregulated PP2AC activity improve leaf photosynthesis, plant growth, and stress tolerance.…”

The review briefly introduces the natural occurrence, physicochemical properties, and biosynthesis of 5-aminolevuinic acid (ALA) and highlights a variety of applications in the planting industry and its possible mechanisms. It has been known that ALA can be used as biological pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides when the concentrations are higher than 838 mg L−1 (about 5 mmol L−1). When ALA concentrations are 100–300 mg L−1, it can be used to thin surplus flowers in the spring of orchards and promote fruit coloration before maturation. When the concentrations are lower than 100 mg L−1, especially not higher than 10 mg L−1, ALA can be used as a new plant growth regulator to promote seed germination, plant (including root and shoot) growth, enhance stress tolerance, increase crop yield, and improve product quality. In photosynthesis, ALA is involved in the regulation of the whole process. In stress tolerance, ALA induces plant preventive and protective systems through the NO/H2O2 signaling network. In secondary metabolism, ALA regulates many gene expressions encoding transcription factors or function proteins to promote anthocyanin and flavonol biosynthesis and accumulation. In general, ALA promotes plant health and robustness, reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides—which is conducive to improving the ecological environment, human production, and living conditions—and has a broad application prospect in agroforestry production. As a new plant growth regulator with multiple and powerful functions, the underlying regulatory mechanisms need more study.

To provide a theoretical basis for the application of ALA in pear production, the effects of exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) treatment on leaf photosynthetic gas exchange parameters, chlorophyll fast fluorescence properties, and relative expression of the related genes were investigated using pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai cv. ‘Whasan’) as a material in the study. The results show that exogenous ALA treatment improved the photosynthetic gas exchange parameters of pear leaves, upregulated the expression of multiple key genes which are related to ALA biosynthesis, metabolism, and transformation into chlorophylls. GUS staining in tobacco leaves showed that exogenous ALA activated the promoter activity of PypHEMA and PypCHLH genes, implying that the synthesis of endogenous ALA and chlorophylls was promoted by exogenous ALA. Furthermore, ALA promoted the expression of the genes encoding photosystem II (PSII) reaction center proteins, such as core protein D1, inner light-harvesting pigment proteins CP43 and CP47, and cytochrome b559. This led to increased PSII reaction center activity. In addition, ALA alleviated the donor side oxygen-evolving complex inhibition and reduced the closure rate on the receptor side, allowing for increased photochemical electron transfer and reduced heat dissipation while improving the photosynthetic performance index PIabs and PItotal. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of ALA’s promotion of plant photosynthetic efficiency, providing valuable insights for further research and potential applications in pear production.
