Figure 9From: Deep sequencing of the Camellia sinensis transcriptome revealed candidate genes for major metabolic pathways of tea-specific compoundsValidation of candidate unigenes in C. sinensis transcriptome by qRT-PCR. (a) Seven candidate unigenes involved in the theanine metabolic pathway show differential expression patterns by qRT-PCR in three organs. (b) Six candidate unigenes involved in the flavonoid biosynthesis show differential expression patterns by qRT-PCR in three organs. Results represent the mean (± SD) of three experiments.Back to article page
