  <dc:description>&lt;div id="Abs1-section" class="c-article-section"&gt;&lt;div id="Abs1-content" class="c-article-section__content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;WHILE growing oats at different temperatures in water of different&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;O and deuterium (D) abundances, we noticed that oats grown in Antarctic water in which is depleted in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;O and D by −49‰ and −400‰, relative to standard mean ocean water (SMOW used as a comparative reference in hydrogen and oxygen isotope studies), showed initial growth 1–2 weeks sooner than did oats grown in water containing greater&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;O and D concentrations. The oats seemed to grow better in water which was most depleted in the stable isotopes throughout the growth period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="Bib1-section" class="c-article-section"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
