Abstract:

In order to better develop and utilize tea germplasm resources in Chongqing and understand their genetic diversity, 30 agronomic traits and five main biochemical component indices of 30 preserved resources were identified and evaluated in this study. The results showed that there were varying degrees of variation in agronomic traits and main biochemical components of Chongqing tea resources. Coefficient variation of agronomic traits were 11.01%-53.54%, the average coefficient variation was 29.13%. The diversity index was 0.32-2.04, the average diversity index was 1.16; Coefficient variation of the main biochemical components was 11.87%-28.56%, the average coefficient variation was 19.4%; The diversity index was between 1.91-2.07, and the average diversity index was 2.00. The cumulative contribution rate of the first nine principal components was up to 74.85%, which contained most of the information of 35 trait indicators, could be used to comprehensively evaluate Chongqing tea germplasm resources. Through cluster analysis, 30 Chongqing tea resources were divided into three groups, the Ⅰ and Ⅱ groups might be applied to process green tea and black tea, the Ⅲ group was the high-quality raw materials for black tea. This study screened 1 germplasm with bud color variation, 3 germplasms with thick fluff in bud and leaves, 10 germplasms with early budding, 21 germplasms with high tea polyphenol, 4 germplasms with high caffeine.
