Both these methylation reactions are vital for growth and cell reproduction.[9][10] Methionine, a sulfur-containing, essential amino acid, is a precursor of S-adenosylmethionine, a cofactor for one-carbon metabolism and the final methyl donor for the methylation of DNA, RNA, proteins, and phospholipids.[11] The methionine synthase plays a paramount role in the synthesis of nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines) involved in the formation of DNA

Staying properly hydrated helps every system in the body, including your immune response
Studies show drought reduces oligosaccharide accumulation (e.g., sucrose) but increases monosaccharide accumulation (e.g., mannose, inositol) in carbohydrate metabolism (Xiong and Ma, 2022), highlighting the importance of photosynthesis, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, other carbohydrate metabolic processes, and plant hormone synthesis in drought responses
