Low temperature is a limiting environmental factor that impairs the growth, yield and quality
of tea plants. Fatty acids desaturations (FADs) play a key role in mediating membrane fluidity …

Cold stress is one of the main restricting factors affecting plant growth and agricultural
production. Complex cold signaling pathways induce the expression of hundreds of cold …

Strigolactones (SLs) play crucial roles in both plant growth and stress responses. However,
their impact on the secondary metabolites of woody plants remains elusive. Here, we found …

CBFs play important roles in tea plant cold tolerance. In our study, 16 tea varieties were
used to investigate the relationship between the expression level of CsCBFs and cold …

Cold stress can seriously affect the yield and quality of spring tea, ultimately leading to
decreases in the economic benefits of tea production. Although melatonin can enhance the …

Background Drought is one of the major factors reducing the yield of many crops worldwide,
including the tea crop (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze). Calcium participates in most of …
