An RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis revealing novel insights into aluminum tolerance and accumulation in tea plant

摘要

Main conclusion The tea plant ( Camellia sinensis L. O. Kuntze) is a high aluminum (Al) tolerant and accumulator species. Candidate genes related to Al tolerance in tea plants were assembled based on de novo transcriptome analysis. The homologs implied some common and distinct Al-tolerant mechanism between tea plants and rice, Arabidopsis and buckwheat.
