tlooto Summary
Recent advances in phenom-ics and transcriptomics have elucidated physiological and gene expression alterations in tea seedlings under saline stress, but the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are still poorly understood.
Abstract
Salt and alkali stresses induce gene expression changes in tea plant ( Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze), subsequently affecting plant growth and development (Wan et al. 2024; Zhang et al. 2017, 2023). Recent advances in phenom-ics and transcriptomics have elucidated physiological and gene expression alterations in tea seedlings under saline stress (Wan et al. 2018, 2020, 2024; Zhang et al. 2017, 2023). However, the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms
