Time-course effect of SHT on the activity of key enzymes involved in theanine biosynthesis in tea leaves. Two years-old tea [C. sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze cv. Longjing 43] seedlings were exposed to SHT (SHT, 35°C) for 5 days in temperature-controlled chambers. Tea seedlings were pretreated with 0.2 ppm 24-epibrassinolide until surface run-off, 12 h prior to imposition of the SHT treatment. One bud and two leaves under the bud were sampled at the indicated time-points to analyze glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) activity. Data are presented as the mean of six replicates (±SD). Means denoted by the same letter at the same time point do not significantly differ at P < 0.05 according to Tukey’s test.
