Abstract Purple tea, rich in anthocyanins, has a variety of health benefits and is attracting global interest. However, the regulation mechanism anthocyanin purple tea populations not been extensively studied. In this experiment, RNA-seq, BSA-seq, BSR-seq were performed using 30 individuals with extreme colors (dark-purple green) an F1 population ‘Zijuan’ ‘Jinxuan’. The results show that 459 genes differentially expressed green leaves, among which involved synthesis transport pathway, such...

Combining the sustainable culture of billions human cells and bioprinting wholly cellular bioinks offers a pathway toward organ-scale tissue engineering. Traditional 2D methods are not inherently scalable due to cost, space, handling constraints. Here, suspension induced pluripotent stem cell-derived aggregates (hAs) is optimized using an automated 250 mL stirred tank bioreactor system. Cell yield, aggregate morphology, pluripotency marker expression maintained over three serial passages in...

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is widely cultivated throughout the world for its unique flavor and health benefits. Galloylated catechins in tea plants serve as important secondary metabolites that play a pivotal role taste determination pharmacological effects. However, genetic basis of galloylated traits remains elusive. We identified stable major-effect quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with index (GCI), designated qGCI6.2. Within QTL's confidence interval, two shikimate dehydrogenases...

Thermal percolation in polymer nanocomposites─the rapid increase thermal transport due to the formation of networks among fillers─is subject great interest management ranging from general utility multifunctional nanocomposites high-conductivity applications such as interface materials. However, It remains a challenging encompassing both experimental and modeling hurdles. Successful reports are exclusively found high-aspect-ratio, conductive fillers graphene, albeit at filler loadings...

Plant acyl-CoA dominated acyltransferases (named BAHD) comprise a large appointed protein superfamily and play varied roles in plant secondary metabolism like synthesis of modified anthocyanins, flavonoids, volatile esters, etc. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is an important non-alcoholic medicinal fragrancy synthesizing different metabolites, including flavonoids. In the tea (C.A cultivar Longjing 43 (LJ43), eight samples were performed into three groups for transcriptome analysis under biological...

Abstract Background Alanine decarboxylase (AlaDC), specifically present in tea plants, is crucial for theanine biosynthesis. Serine (SDC), found many a protein most closely related to AlaDC. To investigate whether the new gene AlaDC originate from SDC and determine biochemical properties of two proteins Camellia sinensis , sequences CsAlaDC CsSDC were analyzed over-expressed, purified, characterized. Results The results showed that exon-intron structures quite similar sequences, encoded by...

Albino tea, a type of tea closely associated with the chlorophyll-deficient phenotype is great interest due to its multiple benefits human health. To explore potential mechanisms involved in albino we performed metabolomics, DNA methylation and RNA-Seq analysis green leaves special mutant 'Haishun 2'. The accumulated significantly less catechins compared leaves, which their difference chlorophyll formation. A total 385 candidate genes were identified by integrative analysis. Two NAC...

Hierarchical assemblies from block copolymer (BCP)-based supramolecules have shown immense potential as programmable materials owing to their versatility for incorporating functional molecules and provide access arrays of hierarchical structures. However, there remains a knowledge gap on the formation supramolecule in solution. Here, we applied NMR techniques investigate solution-phase behavior most studied supramolecular systems, polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine)(3-pentadecylphenol)...

<bold/> The pollinated method plays an important role in developing F1 population. Our study presents improved of petal-assisted artificial pollination tea plants. field operation using this exhibited high efficiency which more than 500 pistillate flowers per day can be capita, and the pollen amount from only one staminate flower was sufficient to pollinate 5 flowers. Additionally, we surveyed fruit-setting ratio three groups, were established influence rainfall on ratio. results indicate...
