Grafting is an important approach to improving tea plant varieties, and tea grafting can result in changes in secondary metabolites. However, the shifting pattern of secondary metabolites between scions, rootstocks, and non-grafted tea leaves is unclear. We employed “Yuncha 1” as the scion and “Ziju...
