Soil nutrient deficiency decreases the postharvest quality-related metabolite contents of tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) leaves

Bo Zhou et al.

Summary: The long-term cultivation of tea plants without fertilization can decrease yield and affect the quality of tea, particularly its color, taste, and aroma. This study provides important information regarding the effects of soil nutrient deficiency on tea quality and the rational fertilization of tea gardens.

Contrasting Adaptation Mechanisms of Golden Camellia Species to Different Soil Habitats Revealed by Nutrient Characteristics

Xianliang Zhu et al.

Summary: Golden Camellia species have high specificity to certain soil environments. The adaptation mechanisms of calcareous-soil golden Camellia (CSC) and acidic-soil golden Camellia (ASC) to habitat soils were investigated through plant-soil nutrient characteristics and their relationships. CSC had more fertile soil but exhibited stronger Ca, P, and Mn storage in plant tissues compared to ASC. However, ASC showed higher nutrient absorption coefficient, which may contribute to its adaptation to acidic soils. Soil pH and soil Ca levels were found to be the most important factors influencing the nutrient uptake network.

Quality Evaluation of the Oil of Camellia spp.

Jing Yu et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the quality and antioxidant capacity of camellia seed from different sources, finding that C. vietnamensis from Hainan has higher unsaturated fatty acid content and antioxidant capacity. Different species of camellia oil also differed in their fatty acid compositions. Rutin, total saponin, total flavonoids, squalene, and vitamin E were strongly correlated to the antioxidant capacity of Camellia spp. Chengmai Dafeng (C. vietnamensis) had the best quality and strongest antioxidant activity.

The genome of oil-Camellia and population genomics analysis provide insights into seed oil domestication

Ping Lin et al.

Summary: This study establishes a chromosome-scale reference genome for oil-Camellia plants and reveals the genetic and genomic basis of oil-Camellia domestication. Artificial selection of genes involved in oil biosynthesis and phytohormone pathways contributes to improving the yield and quality of seed oil in oil-Camellia.

The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of two new woody oil resources: Camellia hainanica seed oil and Camellia sinensis seed oil

Xu Zhenggang et al.

Summary: Woody plants such as Camellia hainanica and Camellia sinensis are important sources of edible oil, with significant differences in oil content and fatty acid composition between the two species. Camellia hainanica oil has higher concentrations of oleic acid, vitamin E, and total phenols compared to Camellia sinensis oil, giving it a greater advantage.
