Abstract:

Early sprouting cultivar Longjing 43 and later sprouting cultivar Biyun were employed in this study. The levels of substance exchange were monitored by detecting the fluorescence signal in calcein treated overwintering buds. The glucanase related genes were identified by sequence homology analysis. Their characteristics and expression patterns during different time of winter were further analyzed. The substance exchanges were detected either in stem-bud unit or mother leaf-stem unit. From the initial formation to release in dormancy, the substance exchange in overwintering buds showed strong-weak-strong variation patterns in both test cultivars, however, the duration of weak exchange stage was much shorter in Longjing 43 than in Biyun. Moreover, there was a close correlation between substance exchange variation pattern and the expression pattern of CsGLU1, a gene identified in tea plant with positive callose hydrolyzation activity. On the basis of promoter sequence analysis, plenty of transcription factor binding sequences related to hormone signaling, cold stimulation and dormancy regulation were found in CsGLU1 promoter region, which validates its putative functions in dormancy regulation. In conclusion, overwintering buds of tea plant have substance exchange with stem and mother leaf both in dormancy and non-dormancy status, furthermore, the variation of substance exchange level was consistent to the changes of dormancy status. CsGLU1 is a callose hydrolyzation related gene, which is supposed to be a key gene regulating tea plant dormancy transition through affecting the substance exchange in overwintering buds. The study provides meaningful results for understanding the changes of dormancy statuses in overwintering buds and deeply exploring the regulation mechanism in tea plant with different sprouting phenophase.
