Taking an integrated genetic and physiological approach, we treated seedlings of B73 wildtype and aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACS) 2/6 double mutant, a maize genotype which lacks an enzyme in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway and therefore produce less ethylene, with aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), a precursor of ethylene
These findings are consistent with the well-documented previous reports describing Spirulinas bioactive components, such as phycocyanin, vitamins (especially B-complex), minerals, and linoleic acid, and its superior protein quality and quantity as a potent immunostimulant and modulator of hepatic protein synthetic capacity [24, 56, 57]
This is why they are classified by researchers as Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHSs)
