Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient element for plants; however, high N accumulation often leads to a decrease in photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In rice (Oryza sativa L.), well-developed aerenchyma is formed to promote oxygen transport from the shoot to the root tips as an adaptation to submerged and oxygen-deficient environment. Total N concentrations were increased in the rice root by changes in O levels in the rhizosphere. However, few reports have focused on how aerenchyma formation-related genes participate in photosynthesis and affect nitrogen allocation in rice. In this study, we found that OsLSD1.1, located in the chloroplast, cell membrane, and nucleus, may be involved in the photosystem II reaction and affect chloroplast development. OsLSD1.1 knockout was found to significantly reduce the quantum efficiency of the PSII reaction center (ΦPSII). Furthermore, we observed that the nitrogen accumulation decreased in the grain of OsLSD1.1 mutants. RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis revealed that OsPEPC3, OsPsbR1, OsNRG2, OsNRT1.5A, OsNRT1.7, and OsAMT3;2 were downregulated in m12 compared with N-WT (wild-type Nipponbare), which may be a reason that photosynthesis and nitrogen transport were inhibited. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that OsLSD1.1 may be key in plant growth, photosynthesis, and nitrogen allocation in rice. Our results may provide theoretical support for the discovery of key genes for nitrogen physiological use efficiency.

Objective: In the context of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), a frequently encountered medical emergency associated with high early mortality rates, there is a need to predict short-term outcomes for risk stratification.Our aim was to derive and validate a model, a simple clinical scoring system using baseline vital signs, clinical and presenting characteristics, and readily available laboratory tests, that allows accurate prediction of short-term mortality in individuals experiencing ACPE.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1088 patients with ACPE from six health centers.
Short-term impact of low air pressure on plants' functional traits.

Lower atmospheric pressure affects biologically relevant physical parameters such as gas partial pressure and concentration, leading to increased water vapor diffusivity and greater soil water content loss through evapotranspiration. This might impact plant photosynthetic activity, resource allocation, water relations, and growth. However, the direct impact of low air pressure on plant physiology is largely unknown.

Both, Serendipita indica and AMF, show promise as sustainable biofertilizers for reforestation, improving nutrient uptake and stress tolerance, despite contrasting effects on photosynthetic capacity and biomass allocation. Reclaiming degraded areas is essential for biodiversity conservation and enhancing ecosystem services enhancement, especially when using native species. This study investigated Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, a native Brazilian species, and its compatibility with plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM), including an endophytic fungus (Serendipita indica) and a consortium of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), to identify effective strategies for reforestation in nutrient-poor environments.

The relative performance of rhizobial strains could depend on their resource allocation, environmental conditions, and host genotype. Here, we used a high-throughput shoot phenotyping to investigate the effects of Mesorhizobium strain on the growth dynamics, nodulation and bacteroid traits with four chickpea (Cicer arietinum) varieties grown under different water regimes in an experiment including four nitrogen sources (two Mesorhizobium strains, and two uninoculated controls: nitrogen fertilised and unfertilised) under well-watered and drought conditions. We asked three questions.

Wetland macrophytes play a critical role in the performance of treatment wetlands (TWs), primarily through nutrient uptake. However, this retention is temporary, as nutrients are released back into the water upon the decomposition of plant litter. The removal of stored nutrients from TWs can be efficiently achieved by harvesting plants during the peak of the growing season, albeit with significant ecological disturbance.
