Relative distribution of tea catechins as influenced by blister blight pathogen

Blister blight pathogen is not only affect the crop productivity,but also impart quality deterioration of processed teas. Among the biochemical constituents, polyphenols and catechins declined considerably due to blister blight infection. This study deals with impact of blister blight infection in relation to relative distribution of catechins of popular, quality tea clones. Results obtained in the present study revealed that irrespective of the cultivars, processed green tea obtained from healthy crop shoots contained significantly higher amount of total polyphenols and catechins.

In what direction is humanity evolving?

The elements that make up some systems are competing with each other for resources. Following the path of ending this struggle, evolution strengthens the reliability of the existence of these systems. This is how the Metazoa and Metaphyta evolved. Therefore, they thrive on the Earth. The development of human societies is a special case of the evolution of systems that have improved the reliability of their existence by stopping the struggle between elements of which they consist. The engine of this struggle is atavistic instinct of selfishness.
