Tea is an important non-alcoholic beverage plant of the world.
Cultivation of tea is very important as it earns revenue for the
tea growing nations especially the developing countries such as
India. Although conventional breeding is well-established and has
contributed significantly for varietal improvement of this plant
and other Camellia species with ornamental value, yet applications
of biotechnology are required to intervene some of the issues where
conventional breeding is restricted particularly for woody plants
such as tea. It is note-worthy to mention that some amounts of
biotechnology works in several facets of tea and its wild species
have also been done. In the present book, a state-of-the-art on
various aspects of breeding and biotechnology has been complied in
eight chapters. They are: i) Origin and descriptions of health
benefits as well as morphological classification as first chapter,
ii) Breeding and cytogenetics that comprise with various
conventional approaches of varietal improvement of tea along with
their genetic resources, iii) Micropropagation which deals with
in-depth study of clonal propagation, iv) Somatic embryogenesis
along with alternative techniques such as suspension culture,
cry-preservation etc. v) Molecular breeding that deals with
application of various DNA-based markers, linkage map etc., vi)
Genetic transformation and associated factors, vii) Stress
physiology complied with various works done in tea along with its
wild relatives on abiotic as well as biotic stress, and viii)
Functional genomics that describe the various works of molecular
cloning and characterizations, differential gene expression,
high-throughput sequencing, bioinformatics etc. Importantly, the
author has made exclusive tables in most of the chapters that
include the summary of the works in particular topic. In a
nutshell, the book compiles the work already been done, identifies
the problems, analyzes the gaps on breeding and biotechnological
works of tea as well as its wild species and discusses the future
scope as conclusion. Every effort has been made to include all the
published works till June 2013. The book will be a useful resource
for post-graduate, doctoral as well post-doctoral students working
on tea as well as other woody plants. This will also be useful for
the scientists working in the areas of life sciences, genomics,
biotechnology and molecular biology.
