Changes in the intracellular free amino acid (FAA) concentrations of Tigriopus brevicornis when subjected to hypoosmotic (5 psu), normal seawater (35 psu) and hyperosmotic (70 psu) conditions for a three day acclimation period were investigated. Proline, alanine and lysine were the major contributors to the intracellular FAA pool. Under hypoosmotic conditions, alanine was the dominant osmolyte with proline concentration at its lowest. This trend was reversed under hyperosmotic conditions. However, the total FAA pool was at its highest concentration under normal seawater conditions, with the total FAA concentrations being reduced during hypo- and hyper-osmotic conditions.

Greenhouse-grown black spruce and jack pine container seedlings were fertilized weekly with a 20–8–20 fertilizer at four concentrations during the fall. Seedlings were sampled when 23 weeks old towards the end of the greenhouse cultural period to determine the effect of fertilization on the free amino acid concentrations. All amino acids, except tryptophan, showed significant increases in concentration with higher levels of fertilizer; the concentration of tryptophan decreased with increasing fertilizer concentration. Amino acids with the highest concentrations in black spruce were arginine, glutamic acid, and proline, while in jack pine, besides these three, aspartic acid and glutamine were also found in high concentrations. Black spruce had significantly higher amino acid concentrations than jack pine. The concentrations of certain free amino acids may be more sensitive indicators of seedling nitrogen status than total foliar nitrogen.
