Figure 3. Effect of JA treatment on catechins in tea leaves
under HT.
(a) , The effect of HT on expression of genes in the JA
synthesis and signaling pathways. Error bars indicate the SD of three
biological replicates. (b) MeJA accumulation in tea leaves
under HT. Error bars indicate the SD of three biological replicates.(c) Catechin content in tea leaves treated with MeJA, Ibu, or
MeJA+MG132 and then transfer to grown under normal (25 ℃) or high (40 ℃)
temperature. Different letters above the bars indicate significant
differences between groups (P<0.05; ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD
test). (d) qPCR determination of the transcript levels ofCsCHS , CsDFR , and CsANS in tea leaves treated with
MeJA, Ibu, or MeJA+MG132 and then transfer to grown under normal (25 ℃)
or high (40 ℃) temperature. Different letters above the bars indicate
significant differences between groups (P<0.05; ANOVA with
Fisher’s LSD test).
