Introduction Global warming has led to increased environmental stresses on plants, notably drought. This affects plant distribution and species adaptability, with some medicinal plants showing enhanced drought tolerance components. In this pioneering study, we delve into the intricate tapestry of Arnebia guttata , a renowned for its resilience in arid environments. By fusing rich historical narrative cutting-edge analytical methodologies, research endeavors demystify plant’s response stress, illuminating profound implications valorization. Methods The methodology includes comprehensive textual resource investigation A. regionalization studies, field sample analysis, transcriptome metabolome profiling, rhizosphere soil microbiome stress experiments. Advanced computational tools like ArcGIS, MaxEnt, various bioinformatics software were utilized data analysis modeling. Results study identified significant genetic variations among samples from different regions, correlating factors, particularly precipitation during warmest quarter (BIO18). Metabolomic revealed marked differences metabolite profiles, including shikonin content, which is crucial properties. Soil microbial community showed that could impact metabolism response. Drought experiments demonstrated ’s ability modulate metabolic pathways enhance tolerance. Discussion findings underscore complex interplay between makeup, communities shaping adaptability value. provides insights how influences synthesis active compounds suggests moderate Predictive modeling indicates future suitable growth areas aiding management conservation efforts. contributes sustainable development resources offers strategies improving cultivation .
