Amino acids are natural molecules that fulfil the role of protein precursors. However, whether individually or as part of the proteins, they perform various physiological functions in plant metabolism: they stimulate root development, the opening of stomata and cell membrane permeability; they are also precursors of hormones, nucleic acids and other important organic compounds such as chlorophyll and polyphenols. In addition, amino acids play a significant role in osmoregulation and some of them are capable of forming complexes with nutrients.
