Metabolite signatures of diverse Camellia sinensis tea populations

The molecular basis for the unique taste and aroma of tea cultivars is largely unknown, but is critical for breeding new cultivars. Here the authors use transcriptomics and metabolomics to study the relationship among phylogenetic groups and specialized metabolites from 136 tea accessions in China.
