Characterization of genetic diversity in selected cultivars and identification of a possible molecular marker for drought tolerance in tea Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze

Tea is made from the young leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen, outbreeding tree species. The replacing of seedling with clonal plantations and the use of small numbers of parental plants in breeding programs could cause a decrease in the genetic diversity.
