 The tea plant, chameleus inensis, is difficult to culture in vitro, making it difficult to study its genetic makeup. Recently, however, researchers have used high-throughput alumina ionasec to obtain a comprehensive transcript and data set of the tea plant. This data set provides a wealth of information about the genetics of the tea plant, including the identification of genes involved in the production of flavonoids, the anines, and caffeine. Additionally, the data set reveals the expression patterns of these genes in various parts of the plant, providing insight into how they may contribute to the overall health and quality of the tea leaves.
