摘要： Aroma plays a pivotal role in defining tea quality and distinctiveness, and tea producers have often observed that specific drought conditions are closely associated with the formation and accumulation of characteristic aroma compounds in tea leaves. However, there is still limited understanding of the differential strategies employed by various tea cultivars in response to drought stress for the accumulation of key volatile aroma compounds in fresh tea leaves, as well as the associated metabolic pathways involved in aroma formation. In this study, two widely cultivated tea cultivars in China, Fuding Dabai (FD) and Wuniuzao (WNZ), were examined to assess the impact of mild field drought stress on the composition and accumulation of key volatile aroma compounds in fresh leaves using headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and headspace solid phase micro-extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) technologies. Results revealed that drought stress led to a substantial increase in the diversity of volatile compounds (VOCs) in FD, while WNZ exhibited a notable rise in low-threshold VOC concentrations, amplifying sweet, floral, fruity, and earthy aroma profiles in post-drought fresh leaves. Through partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) of HS-GC-IMS and HS-SPME-GC-MS data, integrating variable importance projection (VIP) scores and odor activity values (OAVs) above 1, 9, and 13, key odor-active compounds were identified as potential markers distinguishing the drought responses in the two cultivars. These compounds serve as crucial indicators of the aromatic profile shifts induced by drought, providing insights into the differential metabolic strategies of the cultivars. Additionally, KEGG enrichment analysis revealed 12 metabolic pathways, such as terpenoid biosynthesis, fatty acid synthesis, cutin, suberine, and wax biosynthesis, and phenylalanine metabolism, which may play crucial roles in the formation and accumulation of VOCs in tea leaves under drought stress. These findings provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the cultivar-specific mechanisms of aroma formation and accumulation in tea leaves under mild drought conditions.
