Abstract excerpt
The purple-leaf tea cultivar 'Ziyan' is characterized by its high anthocyanin levels, which confer unique visual traits and health benefits. However, the effects of light quality on anthocyanin production remain poorly understood. This study explored the effects of red and blue light on anthocyanin biosynthesis in 'Ziyan', with white light as the control, using transcriptomic analysis, enzyme assays, and...
