Light control of catechin accumulation is mediated by photosynthetic capacity in tea plant (Camellia sinensis)

Abstract Background Catechins are crucial in determining the flavour and health benefits of tea, but it remains unclear that how the light intensity regulates catechins biosynthesis. Therefore, we cultivated tea plants in a phytotron to elucidate the response mechanism of catechins biosynthesis to l...
