Erythrina speciosa is pollinated by hummingbirds and E. poeppigiana is pollinated by passerines. Despite their structural variation, little is known about how species of the same genus diverge ontogenetically to form flowers adapted to pollinators with different beak morphology and feeding behaviors. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate floral development in two species according to their pollination system. Flowers and buds were collected and fixed for analysis using scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. Some characteristics are common to both species: the formation of a pseudoracemose inflorescence, the unidirectional emergence of floral organs, and the formation of a short staminal sheath involving nine of the ten stamens (diadelphous androecium). Other characteristics, notably those related to the late stages of floral development, gradually diverged. Among them are inflorescence formation pattern; the formation of reduced and free keel petals in E. speciosa, while in E. poeppigiana they are longer and postgenitally united by their lower margins; and the participation of the standard in the floral display.

Waterlogging stress is one of the prominent abiotic stresses that has a significant impact on the yield and quality of barley. Seed germination plays a critical role in the establishment of seedlings and is significantly impacted by the presence of waterlogging stress. However, there is a limited understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression and metabolic processes in barley during the germination stage under waterlogging stress. This study aimed to investigate the metabolome and transcriptome responses in germinating barley seeds under waterlogging stress. The findings of the study revealed that waterlogging stress sharply decreased seed germination rate and seedling growth. The tolerant genotype (LLZDM) exhibited higher levels of antioxidase activities and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content in comparison to the sensitive genotype (NN). In addition, waterlogging induced 86 and 85 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) in LLZDM and NN, respectively. Concurrently, transcriptome analysis identified 1776 and 839 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in LLZDM and NN, respectively. Notably, the expression of genes associated with redox reactions, hormone regulation, and other biological processes were altered in response to waterlogging stress. Furthermore, the integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that the DEGs and DEMs implicated in mitigating waterlogging stress primarily pertained to the regulation of pyruvate metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis. Moreover, waterlogging might promote flavonoid biosynthesis by regulating 15 flavonoid-related genes and 10 metabolites.

Comparatively for hormonal treatments like methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid, targeted metabsolites showed upto twofold accumulation. Gene expression analysis of CG biosynthetic genes also validated the accumulation pattern of the targeted metabolite.

To do so, photochemical reflectance index (PRI) is a potential measure to detect conversion of the xanthophyll cycle in photosystem II. Raphanus sativus var. raphanistroides is a wild radish species closely related to domesticated radish, and is distributed throughout the coastal regions of Japan, where it is thought to be salt tolerant. In this study, we raised wild and domesticated radishes under various salt conditions and assessed growth, photosynthetic status, and PRI. When grown at mild salt stress (50 mM NaCl), wild radish leaves showed photosynthetic activity levels comparable to control plants, whereas the photosynthetic activity of domesticated radish was suppressed. This result suggests that wild radishes are more salt-tolerant than domesticated radishes. Although photosynthetic rate and the photochemical quantum yield were significantly correlated with PRI in both species, the PRI resolution was insufficient to distinguish differences in salt tolerance between wild and domesticated radish. Wild radish had a lower maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) when grown under moderate salt stress (200 mM NaCl), suggesting chronic photoinhibition. The relationship between non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and PRI was significant when leaves with chronic photoinhibition were eliminated but this relationship was not significant when they were included. In contrast, the relationship between photosynthesis and PRI was significant regardless of whether leaves displayed chronic photoinhibition or not.

However, various populations respond differently to elevated nitrogen levels. This study explores the responses of central and edge populations of the annual invasive plant Galinsoga quadriradiata to different levels of nitrogen addition. The results indicate that the central population has a stronger need for nitrogen, with nitrogen addition promoting the growth of its aboveground parts, reducing intraspecific competition, and increasing reproductive allocation and total biomass. Specifically, nitrogen addition provides more nutritional resources, easing resource competition among plants, reducing intraspecific competitive pressure, and allowing plants to allocate more energy to growth and reproduction, thereby enhancing their expansion potential. In contrast, the edge populations respond differently to nitrogen. Although nitrogen addition promotes the growth of their underground parts and enhances root development, the impact on aboveground parts is smaller. The enhancement of underground parts helps edge populations better adapt to barren environments, improving their survival and competitive ability in new environments, thus increasing their expansion potential. Overall, the growth impact on edge populations due to nitrogen addition is smaller, possibly indicating they have exceeded their nitrogen limit.
