Caffeine, theanine and catechin biosynthetic pathways in plants, and expression patterns of genes related to quality metabolites in ‘Xiaoxueya’ leaves. (A) Genes involved in the caffeine metabolic pathway. (B) Genes involved in the theanine biosynthetic pathway. (C) Genes involved in the catechin biosynthetic pathway. Genes used for expression analysis are shown in red. The heat maps were generated using the mean of three replicates and MeV software. The blue-white-red schemes are labelled above the heat map. Red and blue represent relatively high and low expression levels, respectively, compared to those shown in white. Asterisks (*) indicate significant differences (p value ≤ 0.05) and |log2FoldChange| ≥ 1 between the values from the sample and third leaf.
