Hibiscus hamabo Siebold & Zuccarini is one of the few semi-mangrove plants in the genus Hibiscus that can survive in saline-alkali soil and flooded land, but the mechanism underlying its adaptation to salt soil remains unknown. Here, to uncover this unsolved mystery, we characterized the changes in the accumulation of specific metabolites under salt stress in H. hamabo by integrating physiological, metabolic, and transcriptomic data, and found that osmotic adjustment and abscisic acid (ABA) is highly associated with the salt stress response.

As a flooding-tolerant tree species, has been utilized in afforestation projects and proven to have important value in flooding areas. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which participates in ethanol fermentation, is essential for tolerance to the anaerobic conditions caused by flooding. In a comprehensive analysis of the gene family in , were cloned on the basis of whole-genome sequencing, and then bioinformatic analysis, subcellular localization, and gene expression level analysis under flooding were conducted.

However, the molecular basis and mechanisms that underlie this strong adaptability to harsh environments remain poorly understood. Here, we assembled a high-quality, chromosome-level genome of this semi-mangrove plant and analyzed its transcriptome under different stress treatments to reveal regulatory responses and mechanisms.
