Summary: Salt stress induces significant changes in gene expression and metabolites in Sophora alopecuroides, particularly in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway. The synthesis of lignin and flavonoids, which are correlated with differentially expressed genes and differential metabolites, may play a role in removing ROS in root tissue and reducing damage caused by salt stress. This study provides new insights and genetic resources for understanding plant responses to salt stress and enhancing salt tolerance in plants.

Summary: This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of Plumeria rubra adaptation to drought stress through transcriptome and metabolomics analyses. The results showed that P. rubra first activates the plant hormone signal transduction pathway to regulate hormone contents, then accumulates osmotic regulating substances to maintain osmotic balance, and finally increases flavonoid levels to scavenge reactive oxygen species under drought stress.

Summary: Comprehensive transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were conducted on peanut leaves to investigate the molecular mechanism by which peanut counteracts drought stress (DS) and nitrogen (N) deficiency. The results showed that different genes, metabolic pathways, and metabolites were related to DS and N deficiency. These findings provide insights into the metabolic pathways and functional genes that can be used for improving peanut resistance to abiotic stress.

Summary: This study revealed the molecular mechanisms of an Antarctic moss adapting to drought stress. Drought stress caused the gametophytes of the moss to turn yellow and curl, and increased the contents of malondialdehyde and proline, as well as the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses showed differential gene expression and changes in metabolite levels in response to drought treatment. The genes and metabolites involved in antioxidant, flavonoid, and lipid metabolism were found to play important roles in the adaptation to drought stress.

Summary: This study analyzed the physiological indicators, transcriptome, and metabolome of two Zanthoxylum bungeanum cultivars with different drought tolerance. The results showed that the cultivar with higher drought tolerance had stronger antioxidant enzyme activities and higher contents of soluble sugars, proteins, and proline. Transcriptome and metabolome analysis provided insights into the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in Zanthoxylum bungeanum, emphasizing the importance of respiration metabolism and signal transduction.

Summary: In this study, the color conversion mechanism of pepper fruit was explored using transcriptome and metabolome analysis. Key genes and metabolites involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids and carotenoids were identified, and their roles in pepper fruit color changes were revealed. Transcription factor families such as p450 and NBARC were also found to potentially play important roles in the biosynthesis of flavonoids and carotenoids in pepper fruits.

Summary: Casuarina equisetifolia is a drought and salt tolerant tree that can grow in barren environments. It is commonly used to reduce wind damage, prevent sand erosion, and assist in plant community establishment in tropical and subtropical coastal zones. Through transcriptomic and metabolic analyses, it was found that C. equisetifolia responds to drought by regulating plant hormone signal transduction and the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid, flavonoids, and phenylpropanoids. These findings provide new insights into drought tolerance mechanisms and coastal vegetation management.

Summary: This study investigated the similarities and differences in flavonoid accumulation and biosynthesis in Dendrobium huoshanense, Dendrobium officinale, and Dendrobium moniliforme. Flavonoid content determination, widely-targeted metabolomics, and transcriptome sequencing were performed. The results showed variations in flavonoid content among the three species at different growth years. Metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis identified differentially accumulated metabolites and expressed genes related to flavonoid biosynthesis. The F3'H gene and two F3'5'H genes were found to be the key genes responsible for the differences in flavonoid accumulation. This study provides insights into the optimal harvesting period and molecular mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in Dendrobium plants.
