Stimulation in primary and secondary metabolism by elevated carbon dioxide alters green tea quality in Camellia sinensis L

Abstract Rising CO2 concentration, a driving force of climate change, is impacting global food security by affecting plant physiology. Nevertheless, the effects of elevated CO2 on primary and secondary metabolism in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) still remain largely unknown. Here we showed that...
