Tissue-specific, development-dependent phenolic compounds accumulation profile and gene expression pattern in tea plant [Camellia sinensis].
Xiaolan Jiang,Yajun Liu,Wei-Wei Li,Lei Zhao,Fei Meng,Yunsheng Wang,Huarong Tan,Hua Yang,Chaoling Wei,Xiaochun Wan,Liping Gao,Tao Xia +11 more
TL;DR: Enzymatic analysis suggested that the accumulation of catechins was influenced simultaneously by catabolism and anabolism, and further research is recommended to know the expression patterns of various genes and the reason for the variation in contents of different compounds in different growth stages and also in different organs.
Influence of shade on flavonoid biosynthesis in tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze)
TL;DR: Analysis of data revealed that shade had notable effects on both flavonoid (including catechins, O -glycosylated flavonols and proanthocyanins (PAs) and lignin biosynthesis, but had no significant effect on anthocyanin accumulation, and it was suggested that polymerization of catech ins and glycosylation of flavonol might be key pathways of Flavonoid metabolism in tea leaves affected by shade treatment.

Cui Lilan,Shengbo Yao,Xinlong Dai,Qinggang Yin,Yajun Liu,Xiaolan Jiang,Yahui Wu,Yumei Qian,Yongzhen Pang,Liping Gao,Tao Xia +10 more
TL;DR: The identification of three UDP-glycosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of galloylated catechins and glycosylated flavonols which are astringent taste compounds in tea are identified.

Purification and characterization of a novel galloyltransferase involved in catechin galloylation in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis).
TL;DR: This work improves the understanding of flavan-3-ols biosynthesis and suggests that galloylated catechins were biosynthesized via 1-O-glucose ester-dependent two-step reactions by acyltransferases, which involved two enzymes.

A WD40 Repeat Protein from Camellia sinensis Regulates Anthocyanin and Proanthocyanidin Accumulation through the Formation of MYB–bHLH–WD40 Ternary Complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, a C. sinensis tryptophan-aspartic acid repeat protein (CsWD40) was found to interact with myeloblastosis (myB) and basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) to regulate the biosynthesis of flavan-3-ols.
