Addressing sustainable agriculture production and food security requires a thorough understanding of the crop drought response. Although importance secondary metabolites in mediating tolerance (DT) has been extensively reported, implication alkaloids urea maize DT remains elusive. Here, through evaluating physiological, transcriptome, metabolome responses two varieties, CIMMYT PAK (C, tolerant) Haq Nawaz (H, sensitive), we found that alkaloid biosynthesis ureide metabolism were particularly significantly induced under DS (drought stress) C. Notably, lupanine (S)-ureidoglycolate 20.87-fold over 37-fold up-regulated Five key candidate genes, including ZmAPY3, uncovered. In addition, other critical pathways genes response to revealed, highlighting drought-responsive mechanisms maize. Our results provide new insights into The molecular contribution deserves further in-depth investigations.
