TheResearch Team of Special tea Resources and their Utilization

Team Leader: Huang Yahui

The team members including one professor, four associate professors, twolecturers, and four of them have doctorate.Our team research field is thefollowing:

(1)Collecting and preservating the special tearesources in our country, such as high amino acids reaources, high EGCGresources, high EGC resources, high caffeine resources, no caffeine resourcesand special color leaf resources. Moreover accurately assessing thephenotypic traits of special resources.

(2)Miningthe special traits and special genes of tea resources by metabolomics,proteomics and genomics methods.

(3)Creating newgemplasm by putting the special tea resources for distant hybridization.
