Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal the Characteristics of Tea Flavonoids and Caffeine Accumulation and Regulation between Chinese Varieties (<i>Camellia sinensis</i> var. <i>sinensis</i>) and <i>Assam</i> Varieties (<i>C. sinensis</i> var. <i>assamica</i>)

Flavonoids and caffeine are the major secondary metabolites with beneficial bioactivity for human health in tea plants, and their biosynthesis pathway and regulatory networks have been well-deciphered. However, the accumulation traits of flavonoids and caffeine in different tea cultivars was insuffi...
