Relationship between Secondary Metabolism and miRNA for Important Flavor Compounds in Different Tissues of Tea Plant (Camellia sinensis) As Revealed by Genome-Wide miRNA Analysis

. Moreover, important volatile compounds, such as linalool, geraniol, and 2-phenylethanol, were found to be highly positively correlated with the expression of miR171o, miRN71a, miRN71b, miRN71c, and miRN71d. Our data indicate that these miRNAs may play important roles in regulating the biosynthesis of flavor compounds in different tissues of tea plant.
