“…Four spermidine derivatives such as tricoumaroyl spermidine, feruoyldicoumaroyl spermidine, coumaroyldiferuoyl spermidine and triferuoyl spermidine were isolated from Camellia sinensis flower. The presence of these HCAAs suggested that tea flowers have ecological roles and might be suitable as a raw material in the healthcare food and pharmaceutical industries (Yang et al 2012).…”

The study of hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) which are a group of secondary metabolites has been an interesting one and has become one of the important researches at present. Accumulation of several plant amides was detected in various plants, which play important role in plant growth and development. This paper aims to review the biosynthesis, physiology, and functions of HCAA accumulation in plants during plant growth and development as well as in response to senescence and drought stress. HCAAs are secondary metabolites derived from phenylalanine and tyrosine pathway. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and 4-coumarate CoA ligase (4CL) hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:tyramine N-(hydroxycinnamoyl) transferase (THT) and tyrosine decarboxylase (TyDC) are essential enzymes for HCAA biosynthesis. HCAAs contribute to many developmental processes as well as plant responses against biotic and abiotic stress responses. However, there is a need to specifically investigate the role of many HCAAs in view of plant molecular biology since it is still not fully conceptualized and explained at present.

“…Recent advances in practical methodologies and affordable instrumentation for metabolite analysis facilitate the rapid and systematic characterisation of small metabolites in an organism, and enable the detection of even small differences in metabolite composition between organs or treatments (Chen, Gonzalez, & Idle, 2007;Dong et al, 2011;Yang et al, 2012). In our study, non-targeted analyses based on UPLC-TOFMS and GC-MS were performed.…”

“…Some representative metabolites in tea leaves, including catechins, flavonols, caffeine, and amino acids (for example, theanine) are also found in tea flowers [8,9,10]. Tea flowers also contain greater amounts of some metabolites that occur in tea leaves in lower or trace amounts such as floratheasaponins, spermidine derivatives, acetophenone, and 1-phenylethanol [11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. As a potentially rich resource, the chemical profiles and bioactivities of tea flowers have been intensively studied [7].…”

Jasmonic acid (JA) is reportedly involved in the interaction between insects and the vegetative parts of horticultural crops; less attention has, however, been paid to its involvement in the interaction between insects and the floral parts of horticultural crops. Previously, we investigated the allene oxide synthase 2 (AOS2) gene that was found to be the only JA synthesis gene upregulated in tea (Camellia sinensis) flowers exposed to insect (Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan)) attacks. In our present study, transient expression analysis in Nicotiana benthamiana plants confirmed that CsAOS2 functioned in JA synthesis and was located in the chloroplast membrane. In contrast to tea leaves, the metabolite profiles of tea flowers were not significantly affected by 10 h JA (2.5 mM) treatment as determined using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Moreover, JA treatment did not significantly influence ethylene formation in tea flowers. These results suggest that JA in tea flowers may have different functions from JA in tea leaves and other flowers.
