Figure 1. HT inhibits catechin biosynthesis in tea leaves.
(a) Counts of different metabolites s identified in tea plants under HT. (b) Catechin levels in tea plants under HT.(c) The effect of HT on expression of genes in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. Transcripts were analyzed by qRT-PCR and GAPDH was used as the internal standard. Error bars indicate the SD of three biological replicates. (d) Expression of HSF genes in tea plants under HT. Error bars indicate the SD of three biological replicates.
