Abstract:

Tea germplasm resources are the basis of tea industry development, the basis of tea breeding and the premise of variety innovation. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out research on tea germplasm resources to promote tea technology innovation and industrial sustainable development. By means of literature investigation, experimental observation and other methods, this paper reviewed the status quo of germplasm resources research and breeding direction of tea plants in China, and carried out statistical analysis on the registration of tea plants in China. In general, tea varieties are more inclined to medium seed, early seed, high yield, semi-open tree appearance, fewer new shoots and suitable for green tea products.
