A lactam compound and a salt thereof, represented by general formulae (1) and (2): In the formulae, Rand Rmay be the same or different, and each represent a hydrogen atom, a protective group of a carboxyl group or a cation, and Xis a halogen ion, an organic acid ion, or an inorganic acid ion.

Lactam compound or salt thereof, complex, and fertilizer and plant growth regulator containing said compound or salt and complex

The present invention is a heterocycle-containing amino acid compound represented by a general formula (1): wherein Rand Rare identical with or different from each other, and each represent a hydrogen atom or a carboxy-protecting group; Rrepresents a carboxyl group or a hydroxyl group; and n is 1 or 2, or a salt thereof.

Heterocycle-containing amino acid compound and salt thereof, complex, composition, fertilizer and plant growth regulator

Provided is a novel heterocycle-containing amino acid compound that has a metal uptake ability equivalent to mugineic acids and can be less expensively produced than mugineic acids. Also provided are a fertilizer and a plant growth regulating agent each comprising the novel heterocycle-containing amino acid compound. The present invention is a heterocycle-containing amino acid compound represented by general formula (1): (wherein: R, Rand Rare the same or different and represent a hydrogen atom or a carboxyl-protecting group; Rrepresents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy-protecting group; Rrepresents a hydrogen atom or an amino-protecting group; and n is an integer of 1-3) or a salt thereof and use of the same.
