Notably, cytokinin-type hormones were significantly upregulated after RKN infection, with zeatin increasing by 202% at 12 dpi and zeatin riboside reaching 38.5-fold that of the control at 24 dpi. Transcriptomic analysis identified 1,705 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), predominantly enriched in plant hormone signal transduction, zeatin biosynthesis, and plant-pathogen interaction pathways. Untargeted metabolomic analysis identified 658 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs), primarily involving carboxylic acid derivatives, amino acids, phospholipids, and isopentenyl alcohol esters; combined analysis further revealed that zeatin biosynthesis was the only significantly enriched common pathway; within this pathway, changes in 8 key genes and 5 core metabolites acted synergistically and were significantly correlated with gall number, soluble sugar content, and multiple hormones.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The results indicate that\n                      <jats:italic>T. kirilowii<\/jats:italic>\n                      responds to RKN infection through an integrated mechanism involving physiological regulation, hormonal coordination, metabolic reprogramming, and molecular defense, with the zeatin biosynthesis pathway serving as a central hub.
