Transcription Factor CsDOF3 Mediates Light-Dependent Antagonistic Regulation of Theanine and Catechin Accumulation in Tea Plants.
Light intensity critically modulates the accumulation of secondary metabolites in tea plants (Camellia sinensis), yet the regulatory mechanisms that coordinate the opposing responses of theanine (a nitrogen-rich amino acid) and catechins (carbon-rich flavonoids) remain poorly understood. Here, we identify CsDOF3, a lig...
