Genomic prediction and genome wide association mapping of quality traits in tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze)

Conventional tea breeding consisting of recurrent cycles of crossing, field evaluation and phenotypic selection is the main breeding technique for tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze). However, it is a time consuming process, that result in slow genetic gain. In order to accelerate tea breeding, t...
