Gene expression, theanine content and the correlations between them in three different seasons. a. The biosynthesis pathway of theanine in tea plants. b The concentration of theanine in tea leaves of three seasons. c Heat map of detected genes in theanine 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. TS: theanine synthetase; GS: glutamine synthetase; GOGAT: glutamate synthase; GDH: glutamate dehydrogenase; SAMDC: S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase; ADC: arginine decarboxylase
