Abstract

This study explores the integrated application of metabolomics and transcriptomics in tea research, providing a comprehensive overview of how these omics technologies advance the understanding of tea plant biology, development, and stress responses. Through an analysis of extensive research, the study highlights significant discoveries in the biosynthesis of key metabolites such as catechins and theaflavins, which are crucial for the quality and health benefits of tea. The integration of metabolomics and transcriptomics offers new perspectives on revealing stress response genes and metabolic pathways, contributing to the development of stress-resistant tea plant varieties. This study underscores the innovative potential of omics technologies in tea research and development, providing unique insights and strategies for future research directions and practical applications in the field.
