‘Anji Baicha’ tea leaves and transcriptome profiles in different stages. a YG, yellow-green leaf; W, white leaf; G, re-greening leaf. Details for each tissue are described in the Methods section under “Plant materials”. b CummeRbund was used to analyze the leaf transcript level data from the three analyzed stages (three biological replicates). The RNA-sequencing samples clustered into three groups of three replicate samples according to these stages. These results indicated that the three biological replicates produced consistent gene expression data at each stage, and that the expression levels of unigenes in leaves differed among stages
