Abstract: Tea tree is one of the traditional economic crops in China and has abundant genetic diversity. Whether the excellent genes for breeding can be quickly and accurately selected from huge tea germplasm resources is an important factor for successful tea tree breeding. In order to improve the breeding efficiency to serve production and scientific research, to create core germplasm of tea tree resources has become the urgent task. In this paper, the concept and general situation of core germplasm were reviewed, the current research situation of tea tree core germplasm in China was summarized, the establishment of steps and methods of the tea tree core germplasm were outlined, the inspection method on the effectiveness of tea tree core germplasm was analyzed, the problems in building tea tree core germplasm were explored, and the future of tea tree core germplasm was prospected.
