Abstract Background Quinoa is an important economic crop, drought is one of the key factors affecting quinoa yield. Clarifying the adaptation strategy of quinoa to drought is conducive to cultivating drought-tolerant varieties. At present, the study of quinoa on drought stress-related metabolism and the identification of related metabolites are still unknown. As a direct feature of biochemical functions, metabolites can reveal the biochemical pathways involved in drought response. Result Here, we studied the physiological and metabolic responses of drought-tolerant genotype L1 and sensitive genotype HZ1. Under drought conditions, L1 had higher osmotic adjustment ability and stronger root activity than HZ1, and the relative water content of L1 was also higher than that of HZ1. In addition, the barrier-to- sea ratio of L1 is significantly higher than that of HZ1. Using untargeted metabolic analysis, a total of 523, 406, 301 and 272 differential metabolites were identified in L1 and HZ1 on day 3 and day 9 of drought stress. The key metabolites (amino acids, nucleotides, peptides, organic acids, lipids and carbohydrates) accumulated differently in quinoa leaves. and HZ1 had the most DEMs in Glycerophospholipid metabolism (ko00564) and ABC transporters (ko02010) pathways. Conclusion These results provide a reference for characterizing the response mechanism of quinoa to drought and improving the drought tolerance of quinoa.
