2 Claims

1. A method for using a tea plant Camellia sinensis fatty acid amide hydrolase 6 (CsFAAH6) gene to lower theanine content in tea shoots and roots, comprising the following steps:

cloning a tea plant CsFAAH6 gene sequence encoding the protein of SEQ ID NO:2;

constructing a tea plant expression vector comprising the CsFAAH6 gene sequence; and

transforming the tea plant expression vector into the tea shoots and roots, thereby expressing the gene sequence and lowering the theanine content in tea shoots and roots.
