Exploration of the Effects of Different Blue LED Light Intensities on Flavonoid and Lipid Metabolism in Tea Plants via Transcriptomics and Metabolomics.

ABSTRACT: Blue light extensively regulates multiple physiological processes and secondary metabolism of plants. Although blue light quantity (fluence rate) is important for plant life, few studies have focused on the effects of different blue light intensity on plant secondary metabolism regulation, including tea plants. Here, we performed transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of young tea shoots (one bud and two leaves) under three levels of supplemental blue light, including low-intensity blue light (LBL, 50 μmol m^-2 s^-1), medium-intensity blue light (MBL, 100 μmol m^-2 s^-1), and high-intensity blue light (HBL, 200 μmol m^-2 s^-1). The total number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in LBL, MBL and HBL was 1, 7 and 1097, respec
