Proteomic analysis in leaf color variants and CKs from Camellia sinensis

Leaf colour variation is observed in several plants. We obtained two types of branches with yellow (H1) and variegated (H2) leaves from Camellia sinensis. To reveal the mechanisms that underlie the leaf colour variations, proteomic analysis using label-free MS-based approach was performed using leaves from variants and normal branches (CKs).

多种植物中均存在叶片颜色变异现象。本研究从茶树（Camellia sinensis）中获取了两类枝条，其叶片分别呈现黄色（H1）与花叶（H2）表型。为揭示叶片颜色变异的内在分子机制，本研究以变异枝条与正常对照枝条（CKs）的叶片为实验材料，采用基于质谱的无标记定量蛋白质组学（label-free MS-based）分析方法开展了相关研究。
