Leaves of tea (Camellia sinensis L.) contain extraordinary large amounts of (−)-
epigallocatechin,(−)-epicatechin,(+)-gallocatechin, and (+)-catechin and derivatives of these …

Summary Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) leaves are a major source of flavonoids that
mainly belong to the flavan 3-ols or catechins. Apart from being responsible for tea quality …

Catechins are bioprospecting molecules present in tea and any effort towards metabolic
engineering of this important moiety would require knowledge on gene regulation. These …

Abstract Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) leaves are a major source of flavonoids that
mainly belong to the flavan-3-ols or catechins and are implicated in a wide range of health …

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is rich in specialized metabolites, especially polyphenolic
proanthocyanidins (PAs) and their precursors. To better understand the PA pathway in tea …

The distribution of phenolic compounds in young and developing leaves, stems, main and
lateral roots and cotyledons of 8-week-old tea (Camellia sinensis) seedlings was …

Catechins, a group of polyphenolic compounds in the green leaf of tea [Camellia sinensis
(L.) O. Kuntze], are major components conferring quality attributes and health benefits on …

Abstract Background Flavonoid 3′, 5′-hydroxylase (F3′ 5′ H), an important branch
point enzyme in tea plant flavan-3-ol synthesis, belongs to the CYP75A subfamily and …

Catechin and epicatechin biosyntheses were studied of grape (Vitis vinifera L.), apple
(Malus x domestica Borkh.) and other crop leaves, since these monomers and the derived …

Flavonoids are major polyphenol compounds in plant secondary metabolism. The
hydroxylation pattern of the B-ring of flavonoids is determined by the flavonoid 3 …
