LITERATURE
amounts of transcripts are much higher in young leaf than in other parts of the plant. Larger amounts of transcripts are found in young calluses than in old tissues
caffeine synthase expression as well as caffeine content is found to be higher in commercially utilized tissues like apical bud, 1st leaf, 2nd leaf, young stem, and is lower in old leaf during non-dormant compared to dormant growth phase. Among fruit parts, fruit coats have higher caffeine synthase expression, caffeine content, and allantoin content
-
environmental stresses other than heavy metal stress and plant hormone treatments have no effect on the expression of TCS gene
-
expression is increased in presence of 0.5 mM salicylic acid
expression is not altered by treatment with methyl jasmonate
naturally occuring low-caffeine fruits have a lower expression of the theobromine synthase and caffeine synthase genes and also contain an extra transcript of the caffeine synthase gene encoding a mutant form. The absence of caffeine in these mutants probably results from a combination of transcriptional regulation and the presence of mutations
the expression of the enzyme is greatly decreased to 50% in the leaves of grafted tea leaves
