Description
Hualing Wu and co-authors clone a gene that drives purple color in tea in a 2024 study. Anthocyanins give purple tea its color and health-linked value. Their production is controlled by structural and regulatory genes working together.
The gene, CsRAB, comes from a purple tea variety and encodes a transcription factor that sits in the nucleus as expected. Reporter tests showed it switches other genes on. When added to a model plant, it raised color gene activity and pigment levels, turning stems purple. Breeders gain a concrete lever for developing purple tea lines with steady color and compound content.
