The invention discloses a camellia-plant-primary-solution extracting device. A rectangular frame is arranged inside a constant temperature box, a steel wire net plate is fixedly arranged inside the rectangular frame, the top of the constant temperature box is communicated with one end of a U-shaped pipe, a multi-joint stretching pipe is arranged at the other end of the U-shaped pipe, the top-end outer wall of the multi-joint stretching pipe is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the end of the U-shaped pipe, the multi-joint stretching pipe penetrates through a columnar through hole on a piston, the bottom-end outer wall of the multi-joint stretching pipe is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the columnar through hole, the piston is located inside a column cylinder, and the outer wall of the piston is in compact contact with the inner wall of the column cylinder. According to the camellia-plant-primary-solution extracting device, the piston is arranged inside the column cylinder, the piston inconveniently enters, camellia-plant-primary-solution steam flowing out of the multi-joint stretching pipe is compressed, and therefore the liquidation speed of the camellia-plant-primary-solution steam is increased; meanwhile, the piston can scrape a liquefied camellia-plant primary solution located on the inner wall of the column cylinder, the liquefied camellia-plant primary solution falls into the storage box through a conical cylinder, and therefore the collection efficiency of the camellia-plant primary solution is improved.

The invention discloses a method for grafting large branches of Camellia japonica, comprising the following steps: (1) selection of stock; (2) selection of scion; (3) treatment of stock; (4) treatment of scion; (5) grafting: scion embedded in stock In the "V" groove, the two sides are closely connected. Tie the joint tightly with thin iron wire, and make the excess part face down, then wrap the joint with film, and wrap the scion with film at the same time. The plastic film does not Completely wrap the excess iron wire so that the interface will not accumulate water and at the same time keep it breathable; (6) Manage after grafting. The invention improves the grafting survival rate of camellia camellia, promotes the growth and flowering of scions, shortens the cultivation cycle of large-scale plants, and has a good role in promoting the development of camellia camellia industry.

The invention discloses a molecular marker site linked with epicatechin (epicatechin, EC) content of camellia sinensis trees and an application of the molecular marker site. For the first time, the inventor of the invention finds that an SNP molecular marker site pertinent to the epicatechin content of the camellia sinensis trees on a camellia sinensis tree genome Scaffold2233: 468642, and the genotype is significantly correlated with the epicatechin content. The relevance and significance verification result indicates that compared with GG genotype samples and GA genotype samples, the epicatechin content in tea soup dry substances corresponding to AA genotype samples has significant differences. Judgment is performed through statistics, when the genotype is double mutation AA, the epicatechin content in dry substances in the camellia sinensis trees is higher than that of the normal average level obtained from wild type GG or single mutation genotype GA by large probability. The detection method for detecting the site is further established, can be used for evaluating the epicatechin content of the camellia sinensis trees to be further used for screening and molecular breeding of high-EC (epicatechin) camellia sinensis tree resources, and has great research value.

The invention provides a method for extracting kaempferol glucoside compounds from Nanshan tea. The method is as follows: the Nanshan tea cake is extracted to obtain a sample liquid; the sample liquid is wet-loaded to a macroporous resin chromatography column, and the ethanol aqueous solution system is used for gradient elution, and the eluent containing the target compound is collected. The crude component liquid is obtained after post-processing; the crude component liquid is wet loaded to the polyamide resin chromatography column, and gradient elution is performed, and the eluate containing the target compound is collected through chromatographic detection, concentrated and freeze-dried to obtain the crude extract The crude extract was dissolved in a solvent and injected, and the first C18ME chromatographic column was used for HPLC semi-preparation, and acetonitrile-formic acid aqueous solution was used as the mobile phase for isocratic elution, and the fractions containing the target compound were collected respectively, concentrated and frozen. Dry to obtain the first and second target compounds. The method provided in the application effectively separates the target compound from the Camellia plant, and the extraction purity is high.

The invention discloses a gene for adjusting and controlling development of epidermal hair of camellia sinensis and quality formation of tea leaves and an application. The nucleotide sequence of a CsMYB184 gene is as shown in SEQID NO.1 in a sequence table, and the amino acid sequence of protein coded by the CsMYB184 gene is as shown in SEQID NO.2 in the sequence table. The expression pattern of the CsMYB184 is highly correlated to distribution of tea fine long hair; when the gene is used for overexpressing and transforming plants, the development defect phenotype of the epidermal hair of transgenic plants can completely return to normal; and through an antisense oligonucleotide technique, the expression of the CsMYB184 is restrained, the content of characteristic compounds in camellia sinensis leaves can be notably reduced. Cloning of the gene not only facilitates understanding a molecular mechanism for establishing the epidermal hair shape of the camellia sinensis, but also facilitates recognizing a molecular mechanism for forming important appearance and quality agronomic character namely tea fine long hair, a theory basis is provided for quality breeding of camellia sinensis, and the breeding process of specific camellia sinensis varieties is accelerated. The gene disclosed by the invention has great application value.

Provided are plants that express, or overexpress, type III Gγ protein AGG3. Such plants exhibit faster vegetative and reproductive growth, accompanied by an increase in photosynthetic efficiency. Constitutive or seed-specific expression of AGG3 in Camelina increases seed size, seed mass, and seed number per plant by 15-40%, effectively resulting in significantly higher oil yield per plant. AGG3-expressing Camelina plants also exhibit improved stress tolerance. Use of AGG3 is therefore an effective biotechnological tool to dramatically increase stress tolerance and plant yield, including oil, in agricultural and horticultural crops.
