Specifically, part a presents a whole-genome comparison of the two haplotypes, part b compares the coding sequences of alleles, part c shows the distribution of Ka/Ks ratios for allelic genes, part d displays the numerical distribution of nonsynonymous mutations, part e identifies genes with significant allele-specific expression (ASEGs) in tea leaves, and part f demonstrates the expression patterns of these genes in different tissues through an example. These data indicate that Tieguanyin tea has accumulated numerous mutations during long-term asexual reproduction, leading to gene expression differences and functional variations (Adapted from Zhang et al., 2021)
