Heavy water (DO) is scarce in nature, and despite its physical similarity to water, DO disrupts cellular function due to the isotope effect. While microbes can survive in nearly pure DO, eukaryotes such as are more sensitive and are unable to survive higher concentrations of DO. To explore the underlying molecular mechanisms for these differences, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis of , , and after 180 min of growth in a DO-supplemented media.

Flowering is highly sensitive to abiotic stress, and increasing temperatures and drought harm crop yields. Salicylic acid is a phytohormone that regulates flowering and promotes stress resilience in plants.
