As an economically important tree species, mulberry (Morus spp.) has exhibited a remarkable tolerance for salinity, drought and heavy metals. However, the precise mechanism of metabolome-mediated drought adaptation is unclear. In this study, two new mulberry varieties-'drought-sensitive guisangyou62 (GSY62) and highly drought-tolerant guiyou2024 (GY2024)'-after three days (62F or 2024F) and six days (62B or 2024B) of drought-stress conditions were subjected to transcriptome and metabolome analyses. The enrichment analysis demonstrated that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism and secondary metabolite biosynthesis under drought-stress conditions. Notably, compared with the CK group (without drought treatment), 60 and 70 DEGs in GY2024 and GSY62 were involved in sucrose and starch biosynthesis, respectively. The genes encoding sucrose phosphate synthase 2 and 4 were downregulated in GY2024, with a lower expression. The genes encoding key enzymes in starch biosynthesis were upregulated in GY2024 and the transcriptional abundance was significantly higher than in GSY62. These results indicated that drought stress reduced sucrose synthesis but accelerated starch synthesis in mulberry.

() are a gene family that relies on NAD +/NADP + proteins to oxidize toxic aldehydes to non-toxic carboxylic acids, and they play a crucial role in the growth and development of plants, as well as in their ability to withstand stress. This study identified 26 genes from six gene families distributed on six chromosomes. By analyzing the phylogeny, gene structure, conserved motifs, cis-regulatory elements, collinearity of homologs, evolutionary patterns, differentiation patterns, and expression variations under drought stress, we found that the gene is involved in phytohormones and exhibits responsiveness to various environmental stressors by modulating multiple cis-regulatory elements.

Herbivorous livestock, such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and donkeys, play a crucial role in agricultural production and possess remarkable resilience to extreme environmental conditions, driven by complex genetic mechanisms. Recent advancements in high-throughput sequencing, genome assembly, and environmental data integration have enabled a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of their environmental adaptation. This review identifies key genes associated with high-altitude, heat, cold, and drought adaptation, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits.

Plants have evolved a variety of regulatory mechanisms to adapt to changing environment conditions. Secondary metabolites play a crucial role in these adaptive processes. However, little is known about whether specific secondary metabolites confer broad-spectrum resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses.
