Transcriptome sequencing dissection of the mechanisms underlying differential cold sensitivity in young and mature leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis).

Abstract excerpt

The tea plant originated in tropical and subtropical regions and experiences considerable challenges during cold winters and late spring frosts. After short-term chilling stress, young leaves of tea plants exhibit browning, a significant increase in electrolyte leakage and a marked decrease in the maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) compared with mature leaves. To identify the mechanisms...
