Comparison of Metabolome and Transcriptome of Flavonoid Biosynthesis Pathway in a Purple-Leaf Tea Germplasm <i>Jinmingzao</i> and a Green-Leaf Tea Germplasm <i>Huangdan</i> reveals Their Relationship with Genetic Mechanisms of Color Formation

Comparison of Metabolome and Transcriptome of Flavonoid Biosynthesis Pathway in a Purple-Leaf Tea Germplasm <i>Jinmingzao</i> and a Green-Leaf Tea Germplasm <i>Huangdan</i> reveals Their Relationship with Genetic Mechanisms of Color Formation

Purple-leaf tea is a phenotype with unique color because of its high anthocyanin content. The special flavor of purple-leaf tea is highly different from that of green-leaf tea, and its main ingredient is also of economic value. To probe the genetic mechanism of the phenotypic characteristics of tea...
