Description Drought poses a significant threat to tree plants
including tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] that yields a
popular beverage “tea.” Consequence of drought is heat and salt
stress, for which data on molecular response in tree species are
not available. The present work analyzed drought-responsive
subtracted cDNA libraries of tea to identify drought-responsive
genes. Temporal and spatial gene expression suggested the
involvement of chaperones as one of the major mechanisms
to protect the plant against drought-related damages. A common
response of thaumatin like protein, chitinase, and late
embryogenesis abundant protein3 across four stresses suggests
these to be useful targets to generate “drought stress proof” tea.
