Comparative Transcriptome and Phytochemical Analysis Provides Insight into Triterpene Saponin Biosynthesis in Seeds and Flowers of the Tea Plant (<i>Camellia sinensis</i>)

Comparative Transcriptome and Phytochemical Analysis Provides Insight into Triterpene Saponin Biosynthesis in Seeds and Flowers of the Tea Plant (<i>Camellia sinensis</i>)

Triterpene saponins exhibit various biological and pharmacological activities. However, the knowledge on saponin biosynthesis in tea plants (<i>Camellia sinensis</i> L.) is still limited. In this work, tea flower and seed samples at different developmental stages and leaves were collecte...
