Transcriptomic responses of tea plant leaves and roots to Colaspoides femoralis feeding
This project characterizes transcriptomic responses of tea plants (Camellia sinensis) after 24 h of feeding by Colaspoides femoralis. Leaf and root tissues from insect-fed plants, mechanically wounded samples, and untreated controls were collected for RNA-seq analysis to investigate tea plant defense responses to herbivory and mechanical damage.
