Effect of the overexpression and silencing of CsS40 in tea calli on the expression of TCS1 and the accumulation of caffeine. (a) Calli transformed with the pSH737-35S-CsS40 overexpression plasmid or the pBWA-35S-CsS40 silencing plasmid were cultured on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L 6-BA, 1.0 mg/L NAA, 200 mg/L Tim, and 30 mg/L Kan. Subsequently, GUS staining of transgenic tea plant calli was performed. (b) RT-qPCR was used to evaluate the expression levels of CsS40 and TCS1 in calli. WT, non-transgenic callus as a control; CspSH, transgenic callus overexpressing CsS40; CspBWA, transgenic callus harboring silenced CsS40; **, extremely significant differences between values. (c) HPLC analysis of caffeine content in callus of CspSH and CspBWA.
