INTEGRATED TRANSCRIPTOMICS AND METABOLOMICS ANALYSIS OF CATECHINS, CAFFEINE AND THEANINE BIOSYNTHESIS IN TEA PLANT (CAMELLIA SINENSIS) OVER THE COURSE OF SEASONS

Abstract Background Catechins, caffeine, and theanine as three important metabolites in the tea leaves play essential roles in the formation of specific taste and shows potential health benefits to humans.However, the knowledge on the dynamic changes of these metabolites content over seasons, as well as the candidate regulatory factors, remains lar

Abstract Background The non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation is potentially advantageous in asthma management.Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) measurement is cheap and has been proposed to reflect airway inflammation and oxidative stress but current data are conflicting.The purpose of this meta-analysis is to determine whether eCO is elevate

Single point mooring terminals are, as the name implies, facilities of small horizontal dimensions, to which large vessels are moored by means of a bow hawser or by any other means which allows the vessel to rotate 360 around the mooring point.Generally, the single point mooring terminal can have two functions.Primarily, it affords a safe mooring t

The cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has emerged as a key regulator of metabolism, stress resistance and longevity.Apart from its role as an important redox copyright, NAD+ BOOKS also serves as the sole substrate for NAD-dependent enzymes, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), an important DNA nick sensor, and NAD-dependent
