Construction of a SSR-based genetic map and identification of QTLs for catechins content in tea plant (Camellia sinensis).

Catechins are the most important bioactive compounds in tea, and have been demonstrated to possess a wide variety of pharmacological activities. To characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for catechins content in the tender shoots of tea plant, we constructed a moderately saturated genetic map u...
