Abstract

β-glucosidase and β-primeverosidase are considered the most important genes related to made tea aroma. An absolute quantification method for gene expression in tea plant using real-time PCR analysis was established and, the expression of β-glucosidase and β-primeverosidase genes in different leaves of Longjing 43 young shoot were determined using this method. The results indicate that the fourth leaf of the ‘five and a bud’ shoot has the highest copy number of β-glucosidase mRNA, which is 2.86E+08 copies/μl, the 4th leaf>the 3rd leaf>the 5th leaf>the 2nd leaf>one and a bud. And the highest β-primeverosidase expression is in the one and a bud, corresponding to 4.31E+06 copies/μl, one and a bud>the 2nd leaf>the 3rd>the 4th leaf> the 5th leaf. The expression intensity and pattern of these genes, which are closely related to tea aroma, are different in the young shoot. The results illuminate that the new developed method could be effectively used to detect gene expression quantitatively in tea plant.
