In this study, we investigated the adaptive mechanisms of evergreen <i>Engelhardia</i> species in response to the EASM through genome sequencing and comparative genomic analyses from the <i>de novo</i> genome assemblies of five closely related <i>Engelhardia</i> taxa and one <i>Rhoiptelea</i> species. Our findings revealed that the divergence of evergreen trees from their sister deciduous species is closely associated with the onset and intensification of the EASM.

This expansion enhances the biosynthesis of terpene volatiles, providing a defensive mechanism against potential herbivory in EASM affected environments. We also identified a shared whole-genome duplication (WGD) event across <i>Engelhardia</i>, along with substantial differences in transposable element (TE) composition and activity, which contributed to genome size variation between <i>E. fenzelii</i> and <i>E. roxburghiana</i>.

In this study, we investigated the temporal dynamics of xylem cell enlargement, wall-thickening, and the interval between these events in twelve temperate tree species from Northeast China over the period 2019-2024. We found that both cell enlargement and wall-thickening advanced significantly in response to climate warming, with species-specific variations in the rate of advancement. Importantly, the advancing rate of wall-thickening was greater than that of cell enlargement, leading to a shortening of the interval between these two events. Linear mixed-effects models revealed that photoperiod, forcing temperature, and precipitation were the primary environmental drivers influencing the timing of both cell enlargement and wall-thickening, with photoperiod emerging as the most important factor. These results suggest that climate warming accelerates the heat accumulation required for the transition from xylem cell enlargement to wall-thickening, thereby shortening the time interval between these two developmental stages.

These contrasting genomic profiles likely reflect divergent demographic histories, with <i>O. esquirolii</i> having experienced severe bottlenecks and protracted population decline. Collectively, our findings highlight the critically endangered status of <i>O. esquirolii</i>, characterized by diminished genetic diversity, pronounced inbreeding, and reduced ability to eliminate deleterious alleles. This study provides valuable genomic resources for the Gesneriaceae family and underscores the urgent need for targeted conservation measures, including habitat protection and <i>ex situ</i> preservation efforts, to mitigate the extinction risk facing <i>O. esquirolii</i> and potentially other threatened congeners.</p>","PeriodicalId":20224,"journal":{"name":"Plant Diversity","volume":"47 5","pages":"746-758"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12496536/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145239157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
