TL;DR: Investigation of variations of sugar contents and the expression of a large number of sugar-related genes in tea leaves indicated that cold tolerance of tea plant was improved with the development of CA during early winter season, indicating that sugar accumulation contributes to tea plant cold tolerance during winter season.

TL;DR: This study assembles a 3.26-Gb high-quality chromosome-scale genome for the ‘Longjing 43’ cultivar of Camellia sinensis var.

TL;DR: A novel chlorophyll-deficient chlorina tea plant cultivar was identified and the expression of 259 genes related to amino acid metabolism, photosynthesis and pigment metabolism was significantly altered in ZH2 shoots compared with those of LJ43 plants.

TL;DR: This study provides the global transcriptome profiles of overwintering buds at different dormancy stages and is meaningful for improving the understanding of bud dormancy in tea plant.

TL;DR: These findings demonstrate that CsSWEET genes play important roles in the response to abiotic and biotic stresses in tea plants and provide insights into the characteristics of SWEet genes inTea plants, which could serve as the basis for further functional identification of such genes.
