Metabolic Profiling and Gene Expression Analyses of Purple-Leaf Formation in Tea Cultivars (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis and var. assamica)
Purple-leaf tea cultivars are known for their specific chemical composition that greatly influences tea bioactivity and plant resistance. Some studies have tried to reveal the purple-leaf formation mechanism of tea by comparing the purple new leaves and green older leaves in the same purple-leaf tea...
