The tea plant [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] is an evergreen crop with a shallow root
system that predominantly grows in acidic soil, strongly dependent on arbuscular …

Abiotic stress is limiting to tea productivity. The severity and duration of the abiotic stress are
critical, as it has multifarious effects on crop plants. The tea plant is commonly grown in rain …

The tea plant [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] is an important commercial crop rich in
bioactive ingredients, especially catechins, caffeine, theanine and other free amino acids …

Background Fulvic acid (FA) is a kind of plant growth regulator, which can promote plant
growth, play an important role in fighting against drought, improve plant stress resistance …

Tea plants have a long cultivation history in the world, and the beverage (tea) made from its
leaves is well known in the world. Due to the characteristics of self-incompatibility, long-term …

Background Drought stress is one of the major natural challenges in the main tea-producing
regions of China. The tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is a traditional beverage plant whose …

Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is an economically important beverage crop. Drought stress
(DS) seriously limits the growth and development of tea plant, thus affecting crop yield and …

The aim of this work was to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect
of fulvic acid on drought-exposed tea plants. We performed proteomic analysis of fulvic acid …

Background Abiotic and biotic stresses induce oxidative processes in plant cells that this
process starts with the production of ROSs which cause damage to the proteins. Therefore …
