- Association CsICE1 positively correlated with catechin accumulation and cold tolerance.
- Association CsMYB44 negatively correlated with catechin accumulation and cold tolerance.
- Intervention effect CsICE1 overexpression improved Arabidopsis cold tolerance.
- Intervention effect CsICE1 overexpression elevated Arabidopsis flavonoid levels.
- Intervention effect CsICE1 overexpression upregulated Arabidopsis antioxidant and cold responsive genes.
- Intervention effect Changing CsICE1 expression significantly affected cold sensitivity in tea.
- Intervention effect CsMYB44 overexpression reduced Arabidopsis cold tolerance.
- Intervention effect Silencing CsMYB44 enhanced tea cold tolerance.
- Observation CsMYB44 directly binds promoters of CsICE1, CsCHS, CsFLS and CsANR.
- Mechanism CsICE1 activates transcription of CsCHS, CsFLS and CsANR.
- Intervention effect Short term cold stress suppresses CsMYB44 expression.
- Mechanism Cold induced CsMYB44 suppression releases CsICE1.
- Mechanism Released CsICE1 promotes flavonoid and catechin accumulation through target gene upregulation.
- Mechanism The CsICE1 pathway mitigates cold induced damage.
