5mC DNA methylation modification-mediated regulation in tissue functional differentiation and important flavor substance synthesis of tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.)

Weilong Kong et al.

Summary: 5mC DNA methylation plays important roles in various aspects of plant physiology, including genomic stability, gene regulation, development, stress response, and metabolite synthesis. This study conducted a comprehensive methylation analysis of different tissues in tea plants and found that tissue-specific gene expression is associated with differential 5mC methylation. The study also revealed that 5mC methylation regulates the synthesis of important flavor compounds in tea leaves. These findings highlight the crucial role of 5mC methylation in tea plant growth and flavor substance synthesis, providing potential targets for improving tea quality in the future.

Architecture and Dynamics of the Wounding-Induced Gene Regulatory Network During the Oolong Tea Manufacturing Process (Camellia sinensis)

Yucheng Zheng et al.

Summary: Understanding the extensive transcriptional reprogramming events induced by wounding during oolong tea manufacturing process is crucial for improving tea quality. In this study, the high-resolution transcriptomic and metabolomic data of wounding-treated tea leaves were systematically analyzed at 11 time points. The results revealed that wounding rapidly activates transcriptional activity within 10 minutes and the temporal expression patterns can be classified into 18 clusters with distinct biological processes. Transcription factor activity linked to TF binding motif plays a role in specific biological processes within different clusters. Moreover, the study highlights the scientific significance of allowing for resting period after wounding treatment during the actual manufacturing process of oolong tea.

CsMYB1 integrates the regulation of trichome development and catechins biosynthesis in tea plant domestication

Penghui Li et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the CsMYB1 gene is responsible for regulating trichome formation and galloylated cis-catechins biosynthesis in tea plants. The variations in CsMYB1 expression levels are closely associated with trichome indexes and galloylated cis-catechins contents. Furthermore, CsMYB1 interacts with CsGL3 and CsWD40 to form a transcriptional complex that activates the genes involved in trichome regulation and galloylated cis-catechins biosynthesis.

The Impact of Different Withering Approaches on the Metabolism of Flavor Compounds in Oolong Tea Leaves

Yahui Wang et al.

Summary: This study conducted complementary metabolomic and proteomic analyses on solar- and indoor-withered oolong tea leaves to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the formation of flavor determinants during the early stage of oolong tea processing. The analysis identified a total of 978 non-volatile compounds and 152 volatile compounds, with differential accumulation of flavonoids and esters in different tea samples. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that phenylpropanoid and flavonoid metabolisms, as well as protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, were the major pathways distinguishing the tea samples. The joint protein-metabolite analysis showed dynamic and distinct changes in the biochemical network induced by multiple stresses during the withering step, leading to decreases in flavonoids and amino acids. Furthermore, fruity and floral aromas, especially volatile terpenoids and phenylpropanoids/benzenoids, were retained or accumulated in the solar withered leaves, potentially contributing to the characteristic flavor of oolong tea made by indoor withered leaves.

Enhanced volatile emissions and anti-herbivore functions mediated by the synergism between jasmonic acid and salicylic acid pathways in tea plants

Long Jiao et al.

Summary: The interaction between jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) pathways in tea plants affects the production of volatiles. The interaction is mainly synergistic when the pathways are elicited at different times, but antagonistic when elicited simultaneously. The type and amount of volatiles induced by the pathways are influenced by the elicitor identity, and the volatiles induced by the JA-SA interaction have different effects on herbivores and parasitic wasps. This reciprocal synergism enhances the plant's biotic stress resistance.

Shicong Wang et al.

Summary: Drought resistance in plants is influenced by multiple signaling pathways and epigenetic modifications, with changes in chromatin accessibility playing an important role in abiotic stress. Analysis in apples under drought conditions revealed 23,466 upregulated peaks and 2447 downregulated peaks in chromatin accessibility. Drought-induced chromatin accessibility changes genes enriched in metabolism, stimulus, and binding pathways.

Transcription factor CsDOF regulates glutamine metabolism in tea plants (Camellia sinensis)

Jinhe Wang et al.

Summary: The study characterized a zinc finger protein CsDOF and a glutamine synthetase-encoding gene CsGS2 in tea plants, showing their crucial roles in glutamine biosynthesis and their regulation by shade. Suppressing CsDOF or CsGS2 expression led to decreased glutamine content in tea leaves. Overexpression of CsDOF or CsGS2 in Arabidopsis thaliana increased glutamine levels, with CsDOF directly binding to the promoter of CsGS2 to promote its activity.
