Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tea is one of the most globally popular beverages for both consumption and research. Abundant tea germplasm resources provide diverse parent materials for tea breeding. With the publication of high-quality reference sequences of tea plants and re-sequencing data from different tea accessions, we have expanded upon our understanding of tea plant genetics and breeding. Until now, several advanced genomics and phenomics technologies have been utilized to meet the demands of health-conscious people for the improved quality and rapid production of tea and address the challenges of climate change, nutrient deficiency in soil, outbreaks of tea plant diseases and herbivorous pests, etc. This Special Issue of Plants welcomes original research and review articles that present recent advances in the field, with a focus on tea germplasm improvement and resistance breeding.
