Abstract
Hibiscus mutabilis, commonly known as the cotton rose, is a widely cultivated ornamental and has been acclaimed as the representative flower of the 2024 World Horticultural Exposition. The growth and ornamental characteristics of Hibiscus mutabilis can be affected by drought stress. Therefore, we investigated the physiological and metabolic responses of drought-sensitive Hibiscus mutabilis JRX-1 and drought-tolerant Hibiscus mutabilis CDS-4 under drought stress. The results of the physiological analyses revealed that, compared to JRX-1,CDS-4 maintained good growth and greater water use efficiency through stronger antioxidant defences, osmoregulatory capacity and stomatal regulation. A total of 3277 metabolites were identified in positive and negative ion modes, of which 663 metabolites presented changes in expression under drought conditions, including 306 upregulated metabolites and 357 downregulated metabolites. Secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids and diterpenoids, are crucial in the plant response to drought stress. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that the differentially aboundant metabolites were significantly enriched in the pathways valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation; linoleic acid metabolism; one carbon pool by folate; and folate biosynthesis. The results of this study will not only help to elucidate and apply the physiological and metabolic regulatory strategies of Hibiscus mutabilis to improve its adaptation to water deficit conditions, but will also provide valuable guidance to breeders and molecular biologists in the screening and use of drought resistant genes in ornamental plants.
期刊介绍：
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
