Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is an important leaf-type woody crop used to produce non-alcoholic beverages all over the world. Tea is one of the oldest and most popular non-alcoholic beverages in the world, and long-term tea drinking has numerous healthful for humans due to many of the important secondary metabolites, such as polyphenols and theanine. Theanine and polyphenols are also closely related to tea flavor and tea aroma, which is usually as the standard for judging tea quality. The growth of tea plants and quality of teas are susceptible to adversity abiotic and biotic stresses, such as low temperatures and pests. Consequently, this review focus on the research progress of key genes related to the stress resistance and material metabolism of tea plants in recent years. We aim at comprehensively understanding the growth and metabolism of tea plants and their relationship with the external environment, so as to provide an in-depth and broad theoretical support for the breeding of excellent tea plant varieties.
