Tea plants, one of the world's most economically significant beverage crops, exhibit extensive genetic diversity and a rich array secondary metabolites. While structural variations (SVs) are key drivers phenotypic innovation, their regulatory roles in transcriptional networks agronomic trait diversification remain underexplored this perennial crop. We constructed pangenome from 21 representative tea accessions wild relatives. Comparative analysis revealed that relatives harbor greater...
Summary Numerous herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) play important roles in defense. In tea plants ( Camellia sinensis ), (Z)‐3‐hexenyl acetate (3‐HAC) has been characterized as associated with resistance to herbivores. To date, how biosynthesize and regulate 3‐HAC resist herbivores remain unclear. Based on transcriptomes assembled from Ectropis obliqua‐ fed leaves, a cDNA encoding BAHD acyltransferase, namely CsCHAT1 , was highly induced leaves E. obliqua . Enzymatic assays showed...
