Project description:Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) is an important non-alcoholic commercial beverage crop. Tea tree is a perennial plant, and winter dormancy is its part of biological adaptation to environmental changes. We recently discovered a novel tea tree cultivar that can generate tender shoots in winter, but the regulatory mechanism of this ever-growing tender shoot development in winter is not clear. In this study, we conducted a proteomic analysis for identification of key genes and proteins differentially expressed between the winter and spring tender shoots, to explore the putative regulatory mechanisms and physiological basis of its ever-growing character during winter.
Project description:In this study, it is noticeable that 32 tea-specific miRNAs were confirmed on the base of genome survey, using deep sequencing and microarray hybridization, and many miRNAs might associate with secondary metabolites synthesis. Leaves, buds and roots were collected
Project description:To investigate the large-scale gene expression in different tea clones, a custom oligo microarray was developed using sequences from RNA-seq for probe designing. We succeeded in developing a tea oligo microarray resource which can be successfully used to analyze gene expression in any tea clones without the need for prior sequence knowlege.
Project description:The RNA-Seq was used to analyze the expression profiling of genes in different ablescent stages of 'Anji Baicha' Examination of three tea leaf samples in yellow stage, white stage and green stage
Project description:In this study, it is noticeable that 32 tea-specific miRNAs were confirmed on the base of genome survey, using deep sequencing and microarray hybridization, and many miRNAs might associate with secondary metabolites synthesis.
