Article Abstract

Tea is a globally consumed non-alcohol beverage with great economic importance. However, lack of the reference genome has largely hampered the utilization of precious tea plant genetic resources towards breeding. To address this issue, we previously generated a high-quality reference genome of tea plant using Illumina and PacBio sequencing technology, which produced a total of 2,124 Gb short and 125 Gb long read data, respectively. A hybrid strategy was employed to assemble the tea genome that has been publicly released. We here described the data framework used to generate, annotate and validate the genome assembly. Besides, we re-predicted the protein-coding genes and annotated their putative functions using more comprehensive omics datasets with improved training models. We reassessed the assembly and annotation quality using the latest version of BUSCO. These data can be utilized to develop new methodologies/tools for better assembly of complex genomes, aid in finding of novel genes, variations and evolutionary clues associated with tea quality, thus help to breed new varieties with high yield and better quality in the future.

Jasmine tea, a further processing tea made by scenting green, black, oolong, or other tea with jasmine flowers, is widely appreciated worldwide for its fragrant aroma, refreshing taste, and beneficial health effects. The production of jasmine tea is a meticulous and complex process that involves chemical reactions, physical adsorption, and flavor interaction effects at the sensory level between jasmine and tea. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research on the processing technology, characteristic aroma formation, nonvolatile compounds, and health benefits of jasmine tea.

In the search for novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) fungicides for managing rice sheath blight (RSB) and sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), 28 pyrazole-4-carboxamides incorporating stilbene or diphenylacetylene scaffolds were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities. The results showed that compound exhibited the most promising antifungal efficacy against and with EC (half maximal effective concentration) values of 0.004 and 0.

The post-weaning period is stressful for pigs due to changes in their environment and diet. The occurrence of diarrhea at this stage is high. Growth promoters such as antibiotics and zinc oxide (ZnO) have been used to not only reduce post-weaning diarrhea but also improve growth performance of weaning pigs.

Alkaline pectinases are in demand in industrial processes that require the degradation of plant pectins at high pH, for example, removal of pectin stains from fabrics, cutlery, and porcelain; treatment of pectic wastewater; fermentation of coffee, tea, and cocoa; manufacture of poultry and animal feeds, and processing of textiles, and so forth. The present study aimed to (a) screen four alkaliphilic microbial isolates, previously obtained from samples collected around Lake Bogoria (soda lake), Baringo County, Kenya, for alkaline pectinases, and (b) characterize the pectinase-producers. The screening data revealed that all the isolates were pectinase producers, exhibiting catalytic activities that ranged from 1.
