Molecular identification of Lingyun Baihao wild and cultivated tea through genome-wide sequencing

The tea plants have been one of the most widely consumed and oldest nonalcoholic beverage crops in world. Lingyun Baihao are unique species distribute Guangxi. It is well known that aroma usually determine quality tea. In recent years, molecular identification has employed plant at genetic level. However, association loss issues to diversities between wild cultivated not clear. Here, we identified 112,938,224 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 10,736,211 insertions/deletions (InDels) for through whole genome sequencing technology. Both SNPs InDels certain characteristics genome, which transition type distributes wildly comparing with transversion base variation absolute advantage InDels. These markers demonstrated DNA high diversity. Collectively, confirmed might due differences level plants, will be valuable resources further researches plant.
