Aluminum (Al) influences crop yield in acidic soil. The tea plant ( Camellia sinensis ) has high Al tolerance with abundant monomeric catechins in its leaves, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and polymeric proanthocyanidins in its roots (rPA). The role of these polyphenols in the Al resistance of tea plants…
