Gene expression, caffeine content and the correlations between them in three different seasons. a. The biosynthesis pathway of caffeine in tea plants. b The concentration of caffeine in tea leaves of three seasons. c Heat map of detected genes in caffeine biosynthesis pathway of transcriptome data. The correlation between b and c were indicated with straight lines (coefficients> 0.9, P < 0.05). Full line means positive correlation, dotted line indicates negative correlation. 5′-NT: 5′-nucleotidase; AMPD: AMP deaminase; APRT: adenine phosphoribosyltransferase; GDA: guanine deaminase; GMPS: GMP synthase; IMPDH: IMP dehydrogenase; NMT: N-methyltransferase; SAMS: S-adenosyl-L-methionine; TCS: caffeine synthase
