Amino acids profiling and transcriptomic data integration demonstrates the dynamic regulation of amino acids synthesis in the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus .

Leaves at the S1 stage are recommended for high quality tea production because of their high content of amino acids, while leaves at the S2 stage are recommended for generous tea production because of their high levels of sweet flavor amino acids (alanine) and essential amino acids (methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan).
