Exploring the interplay between phosphate signaling and jasmonate pathways in tea plants
Phosphate starvation induced catechin biosynthetic gene expression and production accumulation. Credit: Horticulture Research (2024). DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhae178 Catechins, the key active components in tea, are known for their protective effects against conditions like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. However, their biosynthesis is highly sensitive to environmental factors, particularly phosphate (Pi) availability, which is often scarce in
