Tissue-Dependent Variation Profiles of Tea Quality-Related Metabolites in New Shoots of Tea Accessions.

ABSTRACT: Several metabolites define tea quality in new tea shoots composed of leaf and stem. To improve tea quality for breeding, it is important to understand the tissue-dependent genetic mechanisms and metabolic network responsible for the profile of tea quality-related metabolites. We analyzed the volatiles and specialized metabolites as the tea quality-related metabolites in leaves and stems of new shoots in 30 tea accessions to understand the tissue variation and network between tea quality-related metabolites. Our results provided the tissue-dependent variation network in the tea quality-related metabolites, including volatiles in new leaves and stems in tea accessions. Each volatile content in tea accessions showed the coefficient of variation ranging from 58.7 to 221.9% and 54.2 to 318.3% i
