Transcriptome and Phytohormone Analysis Reveal the Regulatory Mechanism of Internode Elongation in New Shoots of Tea Plants (Camellia sinensis)

Key Points

• Internode elongation is regulated by specific phytohormones in tea plants and linked to transcriptomic changes.
• Significant transcriptomic alterations, including 150 differentially expressed genes, were observed during elongation.
• The analysis includes phytohormonal profiles specifically related to growth stages in tea plants.
• These findings highlight potential strategies for optimizing growth in agricultural practices.
