Abstract: Citrate synthase(CS) is the key enzyme of producing citrate acid. CS gene fragments were cloned from tea roots. The GenBank accession is FJ814766 in the NCBI. Then the changes in gene expression in response to P supply were investigated by using semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The result showed that P deficiency increased the expressions of CS gene. This may be a tolerant mechanism of tea seedlings to P deficiency.

Key words: semi-quantitative RT-PCR, low P stress, gene expression, cloning, tea plant
