Abstract

A few Camellia plants accumulate caffeine, theobromine and theacrine. The present article reviews the distribution of purine alkaloids and biosynthetic pathways, including properties and genes of the caffeine synthase family of enzymes, and catabolism. Plant physiological studies and ecology-related studies are also summarized briefly.
