Abstract
Caprylylglycine and copper caprylylglycinate are lipoamino acids resulting from condensation of glycine and caprylic acid by formation of peptide bonds. These molecules are known to have interesting biological properties and especially to improve the yield of food crops. Caprylylglycine and copper caprylylglycinate applied to maize seeds modify the growth and increase the dry matter production at maturity. This beneficial effect is accompanied by enhanced photosynthetic activity correlated with a better transfer of carbon from the air to the C 3 compartment through the C 4 compartment. Lipoamino acids do not affect the partition of carbon into aminoacids, starch, and proteins. The mode of penetration and the target of the action of lipoamino acids are not elucidated.
