摘要: 以福鼎大白茶、白毫早、碧香早、槠叶齐一芽二叶为材料,采用GB/T 8313—2018《茶叶中茶多酚和儿茶素类含量的检测方法》测定茶多酚含量,高效液相色谱测定儿茶素组分含量,采用实时聚合酶链式反应测定儿茶素生物合成基因相对表达量。结果表明:不同茶树品种表没食子儿茶素、表儿茶素没食子酸酯、表儿茶素的含量及茶多酚总量夏季均极显著高于春季(P<0.01)。黄烷酮3-羟化酶基因、二氢黄酮醇4-还原酶基因的表达量有春季高于夏季的趋势;春季采摘的白毫早样品花青素合成酶基因、肉桂酸羟化酶基因、查耳酮合成酶基因、UDP-糖基转移酶基因、类黄酮3’,5’-羟化酶(flavonoid 3’,5’-hydroxylase,F3’5’H)基因相对表达量与其他样品均存在差异(|log2差异倍数|≥1),由此可知基因的表达量不仅受季节调控,还受到品种的影响。F3’5’H基因相对表达量与表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(epigallocatechin gallate,EGCG)含量存在正相关,EGCG是黄烷酮B环3’,4’,5’位置羟基化物质,催化其羟基化的酶为类黄酮3’-羟化酶和F3’5’H,因此F3’5’H可能是EGCG合成的关键酶。

Abstract: In this study, the contents of polyphenols and catechins in the spring and summer shoots with one bud and two leaves of the tea cultivars Fuding Dabaicha, Baihaozao, Bixiangzao and Zhuyeqi were determined by the method specified in the national standard GB/T 8313-2018 and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The relative expression levels of catechin biosynthesis-related genes were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). The results showed that for the four cultivars, the contents of EGC, ECG and EC in summer tea shoots were significantly higher than those in spring tea shoots (P < 0.01). The expression levels of the F3H and DFR genes tended to be higher in spring than in summer. Differential expression levels (|log2 fold change|≥1) of the ANS, C4H, CHS, ANR, UGT84A and flavonoid 3’,5’-hydroxylase (F3’5’H) genes were found between spring tea shoots from Baihaozao and other samples, implying that the gene expression levels could be not only regulated by season, but also affected by cultivar. The relative expression level of F3’5’H was positively correlated with the content of EGCG, which is derived from the hydroxylation of flavanone at the 3’,4’, and 5’ positions of the B ring catalyzed by flavonoid 3’-hydroxylase (F3’H) and F3′5′H. Therefore, F3’5’H may be the key enzyme for EGCG synthesis.
