Fig. 7: Suppression of CsMYB12 and CsbZIP1 in tea plant shoot tips affected flavonol production.

From: CsbZIP1-CsMYB12 mediates the production of bitter-tasting flavonols in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) through a coordinated activator–repressor network

a Tea plant shoot tips fed with asODN-CsMYB12. b Expression of CsFLS, CsUGT78A14, and CsMYB12 in the shoot tips of tea plants. c Contents of flavonols after asODN-CsMYB12 treatment. d Tea plant shoot tips fed with asODN-CsbZIP1. e Repression of CsbZIP1 transcript levels in tea plant shoot tips by asODN-CsbZIP1 treatment. f Changes in CsMYB12 transcripts with asODN-CsbZIP1 treatment upon UV-B radiation. g Changes in flavonol contents in asODN-CsbZIP1 in comparison with sODN treatment. Differences between asODN treatments and sODN treatments (control) were analyzed. Data are expressed as means ± s.d. from at least three replicates. Differences in comparison with the control were analyzed in two-tailed Student’s t tests, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
