Identification of QTL controlling volatile terpene contents in tea plant (Camellia sinensis) using a high-aroma 'Huangdan' x 'Jinxuan' F₁ population.

ABSTRACT: Aroma is an important factor affecting the character and quality of tea. The improvement of aroma trait is a crucial research direction of tea plant breeding. Volatile terpenes, as the major contributors to the floral odors of tea products, also play critical roles in the defense responses of plants to multiple stresses. However, previous studies have largely focused on the aroma formation during the manufacture of tea or the comparison of raw tea samples. The mechanisms causing different aroma profiles between tea cultivars have remained underexplored. In the current study, a high-density genetic linkage map of tea plant was constructed based on an F₁ population of 'Huangdan' × 'Jinxuan' using genotyping by sequencing. This linkage map covered 1754.57 cM and contained 15 linkag
