The latest collection on Nature Outlook is all about tea!  Members of our team were interviewed for two articles in particular:

•  The growth of tea: Genetic studies of today’s tea plants are providing clues to how the plant was first domesticated.

• How climate change might affect tea: Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns can affect the growing season, flavour and health benefits of tea.

Several new publications by our team have come out recently.  Several chapters in a new book, Stress Physiology of Tea in the Face of Climate Change, were authored by members of our team—both in the US and by our collaborators in China.

Nicole Kfoury and co-authors published a paper on the effects of seasonal monsoon rains on metals in tea in Chemosphere.

Eric Scott and co-authors published a paper on the interactive effects of drought and simulated insect herbivory on tea metabolites in Environmental and Experimental Botany.

The UC Davis Global Tea Initiative recently posted videos of all the talks from their 3rd annual symposium from this February.  It includes a talk by our team-member Dr. Wen-Yan Han.
