Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association The SAM and AMP pathway genes were significantly related to xanthosine synthesis in the purine alkaloid pathway.
- Mechanism Significant expression of SAMS-5, PPAT-2 and IMPDH-2 in the xanthosine degradation pathway in Camellia ptilophylla is attributed to its higher theobromine content compared with SCZ.
- Mechanism Significant expression of TCS-2, TCS-3 and XMT-1 in the xanthosine degradation pathway in Camellia ptilophylla is attributed to its higher theobromine content compared with SCZ.
- Mechanism Significant expression of XMT-13 and XDH-4 in the xanthosine degradation pathway in Camellia ptilophylla is attributed to its higher theobromine content compared with SCZ.
- Association The transcription factor AP2/ERF (20%) was significantly correlated with the purine alkaloid and phenylpropanoid genes.
- Association The transcription factor WRKY (12%) was significantly correlated with the purine alkaloid and phenylpropanoid genes.
- Association The transcription factor NAC (11%) was significantly correlated with the purine alkaloid and phenylpropanoid genes.
- Association The transcription factor MYB (8%) was significantly correlated with the purine alkaloid and phenylpropanoid genes.
- Association Upregulated expression of caffeine synthesis genes in SCZ was correlated with MYB and AP2/ERF transcription factors.
