Response of photosynthetic capacity to ecological factors and its relationship with EGCG biosynthesis of tea plant (Camellia sinensis)

Abstract Background Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) imparts unique health benefits and flavour to tea. Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in modulating secondary metabolite production in plants, and this study investigated its impact on the biosynthesis of EGCG in tea plants under different ecologi...
