Genomic analyses of agronomic traits in tea plants and related species.

The genus contains three types of domesticates that meet various needs of ancient humans: the ornamental , the edible oil-producing , and the beverage-purposed tea plant . The genomic drivers of the functional diversification of domesticates remain unknown. Here, we present the genomic variations of 625 accessions based on a new genome assembly of var.

Genetic analyses of ancient tea trees provide insights into the breeding history and dissemination of Chinese Assam tea ( var. ).

Chinese Assam tea ( var. ) is an important tea crop with a long history of cultivation in Yunnan, China. Despite its potential value as a genetic resource, its genetic diversity and domestication/breeding history remain unclear.
