Alpinia officinarum , commonly known as Galangal, is not only widely used a medicinal plant but also holds significant ornamental value in horticulture and landscape design due to its unique structure floral aesthetics China. This study evaluates the impact of current future climate change scenarios (ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, ssp585) on suitable habitats for A. A total 73 reliable distribution points were collected, 11 key environmental variables selected. The ENMeval package was optimize Maxent model, potential areas predicted combination with Biomod2. results show that optimized model accurately Under low emission (ssp126 ssp245), habitat area increased expanded towards higher latitudes. However, under high (ssp370 ssp585), significantly decreased, species range shrinking by approximately 3.7% 19.8%, respectively. Through Multivariate similarity surface (MESS) most dissimilar variable (MoD) analyses revealed variability scenarios, especially ssp585, led large-scale contraction rising temperatures unstable precipitation patterns. Changes center suitability location showed ’s located Guangxi, gradually shifts northwest, while this shift becomes more pronounced. These findings provide scientific basis conservation germplasm resources management strategies response change.

WRKY transcription factors are essential for plant growth, health, and responses to biotic abiotic stress. In this study, we performed a deep in silico characterization of the gene family genome Eucalyptus grandis. We also analyzed expression profiles these genes upon colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Rhizophagus irregularis (Ri) infection with bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs). A total 117 EgWRKYs were identified. Phylogenetic analysis divided EgWRKY proteins into three groups: group I (21 proteins, 17.95%), II (65 55.56%), III (24 20.51%). Additionally, seven (5.98%) categorized IV due absence domain or zinc-finger structure. All distributed irregularly across 11 chromosomes, 25 pairs identified as segmental duplicates four tandem duplicates. The promoter regions 50% members each subfamily contain hormone-related cis-elements associated defense responses, such ABREs, TGACG motifs, CGTCA motifs. subfamilies (except IV-b IV-c) AW-boxes, which related induction. Furthermore, transcriptomic revealed that 21 responsive AMF Ri, 13 8 strongly up- downregulated, respectively. Several (including EgWRKY116, EgWRKY62, EgWRKY107) significantly induced Ri; might enhance E. grandis against Rs. Therefore, regulated colonization, some improve R. solanacearum. These findings provide insights involved interactions among host plant, AMFs,
