Schematic of pot experiment (A). Whole plant phenotype; effect of shading on the ultrastructure of cell organelles in leaves of two tea cultivars (B,C). The values of main root length, lateral root number (D), and SPAD (E) of two tea cultivars (means ± SD, three biological replicates per treatment group) under shaded and unshaded conditions. Data were assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan's multiple range test. *p < 0.05. Ck, control check; Shade, shading treatment; XFC, “Xiangfeicui” cultivar; JX, “Jinxuan” cultivar; Ch, chloroplast; SG, starch granule; OG, osmiophilic granule; Gr, grana; Th, thylakoid; SPAD, soil and plant analyzer development, measuring relative chlorophyll content; XFL, leaf of “Xiangfeicui” cultivar; JXL, leaf of “Jinxuan” cultivar; XFR, root of “Xiangfeicui” cultivar; JXR, root of “Jinxuan” cultivar.
