Compost residue enriches soil health with the potential to enhance plant metabolism and hormonal balance, but has not yet been studied. A study was performed to determine how prevailing compost residue induces tomato ( 'Scotia') plant morpho-physiology, phytohormones, and secondary metabolites. Plants were grown in soils with a previous history of annual (AN) and biennial (BI) compost amendments.

- Plants have a unique ability to adapt their metabolism to changes in water levels, and a study examined how Mexican mint responds to different watering conditions, including regular watering, drought, and flooding.
- The research identified 68 key metabolites in central carbon metabolism (CCM) that were significantly affected by water stress, with specific increases in metabolites related to the Calvin cycle, glycolysis, TCA cycle, and nucleotide biosynthesis depending on the water treatment.
- Findings showed strong correlations between metabolites from different pathways, indicating complex interactions, and the study suggests that future research will explore the genes and proteins involved in these metabolic changes.
