TL;DR: The first report on gene expression dynamics in thrips infested Darjeeling tea leaves can be extrapolated with increase in volatiles which is responsible for enhancing the quality of Darjeels tea, specially the flavour and aroma of the infusion.

TL;DR: This analysis provides evidence that the accessions and clones of the same morphotype are not always of same genetic ancestry structure, and demonstrates very narrow genetic diversity in the commercial tea clones vis-à-vis the profound genetic diversity existing in the tea accessions.

TL;DR: Analysis of molecular variance detected a high level of genetic variation within and limited genetic variation among the populations, suggesting their origin from a similar genetic pool.

TL;DR: This biochemical characterization will be a useful tool in the development of quality‐tea clones with different proportion of total catechin and their fractions, since both varietal types taxonomically belong to a single species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the tea germplasm maintained in three geographically different locations in India viz., TRA, Tocklai in north-east India, UPASI in south India, and IHBT in western Himalaya were carried out using morphological characteristics.
