Wuyi Mountain in Southeast China is the origin of black tea and oolong tea. It also considered ‘treasure trove cultivars’ because its rich germplasm resources. In present study, population structure genetic diversity 137 germplasms from adjacent areas were analyzed by SNPs. The information index (I), observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected (He) fixation (F) polymorphisms selected SNPs high, stab...

Drought is the major yield-limiting abiotic factor of tea cultivation. In the present study, influence of drought stress on cellular ultrastructure and antioxidants was studied drought-tolerant (TV-23) and -sensitive (S.3/A3) tea cultivars by imposing drought stress for 21 days. Drought stress led to considerable structural alterations in mitochondria, chloroplast and vacuole. Lesser membrane i...

Tea cultivation, being a woody perennial land-use, has an enormous potential to sequester vast amount of carbon (C) in its biomass and soil rhizosphere. The Northeast Himalayan region (NEH) India is traditional tea growing belt, thus the impact long-term climate change can be mitigated through enrichment organic (SOC). cultivation also contribute land degradation neutrality (LDN) by restoring d...

iced tea is a world popular beverage,for example about 80% of people in italy and united states, consume iced tea as a thirsty-quenching beverage. however, it is also believed that iced tea contains health benefit components. process of iced tea involved tea solid extraction and then mixing with edible acids, flavors, sugar or non-nutritional sweeteners. in this research, regarding to the deman...

The thermoacidophile and obligate elemental sulfur (S(8)(0))-reducing anaerobe Acidilobus sulfurireducens 18D70 does not associate with bulk solid-phase sulfur during S(8)(0)-dependent batch culture growth. Cyclic voltammetry indicated the production of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) as well as polysulfides after 1 day of batch growth of the organism at pH 3.0 and 81°C. The production of polysulfide ...

he forest cover in the Xishuangbanna Prefecture of China’s Yunnan Province has decreased significantly, from 62.5% in 1950 to only 33.9% in 1985. According to the government census, the population has increased from 200,000 to nearly 800,000 over roughly the same time. Indigenous people, particularly swidden cultivators, are often blamed for destroying the forests of Xishuangbanna. The concept ...
