New Research Sheds More Light on Genetic Makeup of Tea
By analyzing the variation of FAAs among 339 tea accessions in two years, we can know that the determined components of FAAs including arginine, glutamine, glutamate, alanine, and theanine with the highest diversity index differed among different genetic resources and intraspecific accessions. Meanwhile, their amounts in Camellia sinensis were all significantly higher than in the wild relatives. The study confirmed the significant opposite trend between chlorophyll and FAA profiles.
