This document discusses abiotic stresses on plants. It defines abiotic stress as negative impacts from non-living factors like drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and nutrient deficiencies. Primary abiotic stresses significantly impact global crop yields. The document outlines how these stresses affect plants physiologically by reducing growth, photosynthesis and reproduction. It also explains how plants develop resistance and acclimate to stresses through genetic adaptations like hardening off. Finally, the document notes that abiotic stresses limit biodiversity and agricultural production worldwide.

Biological stress is not easily defined but it implies adverse effects on an organism. Like all other living organisms, the plants are subjected to various environmental stresses such as water deficit and drought, cold, heat, salinity and air pollution etc.
The concept of stress is associated with stress tolerance. Degree of tolerance differs with different plant species.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

4. Definition of Stress
Any environmental or physical pressure
that elicits a response from an organism.
5. Types of stress
1) Abiotic stress: is the negative impact of non-living
factors on living organisms in a specific environment.
2) Biotic stress: is the negative influences caused by
other living organisms.
10. Drought
Drought: an extended period of deficient rainfall relative to
the statistical mean for a region.
■ Meteorological drought is qualified by any significant deficit
of precipitation.
■ Hydrological drought is manifest in noticeably reduced
river and stream flow and critically low groundwater tables.
11. Effects of drought stress on crops
■ Reduced seed germination and seedling
development.
■ Poor vegetative growth.
■ Reproductive growth is severely affected.
■ Plant height and leaf area reduced.
12. ■ Significantly reduction in leaf weight.
■ Reduced photosynthesis.
■ Reduced stomatal conductance.
■ Significantly reduction in the total dry matter.
13. Effects of flooding stress on plants
1. Decay and death of leaves.
2. Wilting.
3. Abscission.
4. Epinasty.
5. Lenticels formation.
Flooding: is any situation of excess water.
Flooding stress
14. Nutrient deficiency & Toxicity
■ Under the anaerobic condition Fe toxicity is high.
■ This leads to increase the polyphenol oxidase activity,
leading to the production of oxidized polyphenols.
■ It also causes leaf bronzing and reduced root oxidation
power.
15. Salinity
Is defined as the presence of excessive amounts of
soluble salts that hinder or affect the normal functions
of plant growth.
Fig.2 Effect salt on plants
16. Effects of salt stress on plants
1- Osmotic effect or water deficit effect:
Reduces the plant‘s ability to take up water, and this
leads to slower growth.
** This is the osmotic or water-deficit effect of salinity.
2- Salt specific effect or Ion Excess Effect:
Salts enter the transpiration stream and eventually injure
cells in the transpiring leaves, further reducing growth.
17. Effects of Heat stress on Plants
■ Seedling establishment is hampered.
■ Drying of leaf margins and scorching effect on leaves.
■ Reduction in plant growth.
■ Pollen development is affected.
■ Alteration in photosynthesis.
■ Total biomass is reduced.
■ Spikelet sterility.
■ Grain and fruit development and quality is affected.
21. Resistance
Is the adaptability of plants to adverse environment.
Types of Resistance
1. Stress avoidance:
In the whole growth process does not meet with the face of adversity.
2. Stress tolerance:
Plant has a capacity of environmental stress defense, and a variety of
physiological processes remain normal.
22. Adaptation and acclimation
Adaptation
is a change in both physical and chemical composition of an organism
with habitat changes.
Acclimation
is a physical reaction made in order to adjust to said changes.
Adaptation Permanent
Acclimation Temporary
23. Examples of adaptation
1- The seaweed is a plant adapted for its underwater environment.
2- Cacti are adapted for the desert environment.
24. Example of acclimation
1- Maple trees.
2- Irises.
3- Tomatoes.
**can survive freezing temperatures if the temperature
gradually drops lower and lower each night over a
period of days or weeks.
25. How acclimation allows plants to respond
to environmental fluctuations?
For example
Process known as hardening off, to speed up the growth of plants
garden often start by:
1- Growing them indoors in pots under optimal growth condition.
2- The gardeners then move the plants outdoors for part of the day
over a period long enough to acclimate or harden.
26. Define of plant stress and genetic
potential
Plant stress: is any external factor that negatively
influences plant growth, productivity, reproductive capacity
or survival.
Genetic potential: is the likelihood that a mutation to a
gene coding for the currently favored phenotype will
produce the intermediate or unfavored phenotype.
27. plant stress prevents the plant from achieving its
full genetic potential.
For example:
1- a decrease in light intensity would cause a reduction in
photosynthetic activity.
2- with a concomitant decrease in the energy supply to the plant.
28. The effect of abiotic stresses on agriculture
■ Abiotic stress management is one of the most important
challenges facing agriculture.
■ Abiotic stress can persistently limit choice of crops and
agricultural production over large areas and extreme
events can lead to total crop failures.
29. ■ Abiotic stresses adversely affect the livelihoods of
individual farmers and their families as well as
national economies and food security.
Fig.6 Crops damaged by forst
30. How do changes in environmental
condition affect seed production?
Examples
1- the transition to reproductive growth occurs only after the
vegetative adult phase completes its genetically determined
developmental program.
2- under stress conditions the vegetative growth program may
terminate prematurely and the plant may go immediately to the
reproductive phase.
31. The impact of abiotic stress on biodiversity
■ Biodiversity is determined by many things, including abiotic
stress.
■ If an environment is in a state of great stress, its biodiversity
is reduced.
■ If there is no strong presence of abiotic stress in an area, its
biodiversity increases.
32. ■ This idea leads us to understand how endangered species
are linked to abiotic stress.
■ The number of species decreases.
■ This means that these species are most vulnerable to the
threat of pollution , extinction and indeed extinction, when
and where abiotic stress is exceptionally severe.
