A suppression subtractive hybridization analysis approach was undertaken to identify genes involved in cold acclimation of tea (Camellia sinensis(L.) O. Kuntze), a broad-leaved, woody evergreen species. A total of ten complementary DNA (cDNA) clones, induced by low temperature in tea leaves, were identified. These transcripts could be classified into three functional groups. Three transcripts encoded transcriptional factors. Among these,Cs-COR375contained a putative open reading frame encoding a zinc-finger protein with two EPF-type zinc fingers, whileCs-COR041andCs-COR178were corresponded toCBF-like genes. The predicted products ofCs-COR044,Cs-COR196, andCs-COR213cDNAs were cell structure proteins.Cs-COR044encoded a putative 86 amino acid protein consisting of a hydrophobic N-terminal half and a hydrophilic C-terminal half relatively rich in glycine and proline. The protein was predicted to be exported to the apoplast and likely to be localized in the cell wall.Cs-COR196andCs-COR213encoded for two putative early light-induced proteins, a group of nuclear-encoded thylakoid membrane proteins accumulating in response to various stresses. The predicted proteins encoded by the remaining four transcripts were putatively involved in primary and secondary metabolism. The product encoded byCs-COR018was β-amylase, involved in cold acclimation of various plant species.Cs-COR126coded for chalcone synthase, whileCs-COR054andCs-COR113coded for two different flavonol synthases.
