Article Abstract

Background: As a nutrient rich pseudocereal crop, quinoa is severely restricted by waterlogging, which hinders the growth and development of quinoa seedlings. The accumulation mechanism of flavonoids in quinoa under abiotic stress has been reported, but there are few reports on the accumulation of flavonoids in quinoa seedlings under waterlogging.

Methods: We used one highly resistant and two sensitive lines as experimental materials, and combined metabolomic and transcriptomic associations as well as WGCNA to describe and analyze in detail the accumulation of flavonoids in quinoa seedlings under flooding stress in three quinoa lines.

Results: The results showed that under flooding stress, the total flavonoid content in highly resistant materials was higher than that in sensitive materials. A total of 173 flavonoid metabolites were detected in all samples, mainly flavonoids and flavonols. Gene metabolite regulatory network analysis showed that a total of 22 genes regulated 11 enzymes and 13 metabolites that played key roles in response to flooding stress, among which CHS, F3H, and FLS genes showed strong and significant positive correlations with various flavonoid metabolites.Combined with WGCNA, five transcription factors (TFs) related to the synthes is of flavonoids under waterlogging were identified, including MYB and NF-YC, And these genes were validated by RT-qPCR, and the expression levels were consistent with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data, thus confirming the reliability of our data.

Conclusions: This study elucidated that quinoa significantly enhances the synthesis of flavonoids under flooding stress through the synergistic regulation of key genes such as CHS, F3H, FLS and the MYB and NF-YC transcription factors, providing an important theoretical basis and genetic resources for analyzing the mechanism of quinoa's flooding tolerance and cultivating varieties that are resistant to waterlogging.

Hydraulic constraints to stomatal conductance in flooded trees.

Stomatal closure is a pervasive response among trees exposed to flooded soil. We tested whether this response is caused by reduced hydraulic conductance in the soil-to-leaf hydraulic continuum (k), and particularly by reduced root hydraulic conductance (k), which has been widely hypothesized. We tracked stomatal conductance at the leaf level (g) and canopy scale (G) along with physiological conditions in two temperate tree species, Magnolia grandiflora and Quercus virginiana, that were subjected to flood and control conditions in a greenhouse experiment.

Numerical models for problems of acoustic scattering by thin elastic shells immersed in fluids.

This paper presents relatively simple formulations of the problem of acoustic scattering by flooded and hollow elastic shells immersed in fluids, which can serve as a basis for efficient numerical models. The full rigorous formulation of the problem, which involves the Helmholtz equations for acoustic pressures in the fluids and the Navier equation for three-dimensional displacements in the elastic material, is reduced to a boundary value problem only for the Helmholtz equations with effective boundary conditions relating the boundary pressures and normal displacements on both sides of the shell. To that end, the thin elastic shell is regarded as a neighborhood of its midsurface, and the boundary values of the elastic quantities (displacements and stresses) are expressed via their expansions about the midsurface, considering the shell thickness as a small parameter.

Divergent effects of successive drought and flooding on photosynthesis in wheat and barley.

Climate change is leading to increases in extreme weather events, notably increasing both droughts and floods, which undermine food security. Although each stress individually has been well studied, little is known about the response of cereals to successive water stresses, condition that often occurs in real-world scenarios. To address this gap, we have compared physiological responses of wheat and barley cultivars to cycles of drought and flooding.

Background: Climate distress is a psychological reaction to adverse weather events and climate change. These events can increase people's vulnerability to develop psychiatric disorders like anxiety, depression, and PTSD particularly in disaster-prone regions like India.

Aim: To explore the relationship between climate distress and psychological impact with a particular emphasis on women, elderly, and other at risk populations who owing to their health vulnerabilities, lack of resources or social roles that make them dependent on others, experience stress in the face of climate change.

Flooding-induced oxygen deprivation (anoxia) is a challenge to plant survival, necessitating adaptive mechanisms for recovery. This study investigates elemental redistribution during anoxia recovery using time-series elemental imaging to show changes in nutrient distribution. Focusing on the role of Cation/H⁺ Exchangers (CAXs) in Arabidopsis thaliana, we show how mutants deficient in specific CAX transporters (cax1 and the cax1-4 quadruple mutant; qKO) respond to anoxia and metal stress.
