Abstract:

To explore excellent resources of wild tea plants and population species, the genetic diversity analysis and resource evaluation of 40 wild tea germplasms in Mountain Emei were carried out by using factor analysis, clustering analysis and sensory evaluation methods. The results show that tea germplasms in Mountain Emei are abundant, and mostly shrub type. The coefficients of 18 morphological traits range from 7.70% to 60.99%, and the biggest coefficient variation is young shoot color of 60.99%. Factor analysis shows that the six main factors of 18 morphological traits account for 80.74% of total contribution rate, whose representative indices are leaf size, leaf serrate and leaf surface characteristics. Clustering analysis divides the materials into five groups, showing complex genetic relationships and rich genetic diversity. Green tea processing properties of the 11 germplasms preliminarily screened perform well, and the total score of sensory evaluation is above 92, the products have aroma of fresh fragrance of flowers, or high and long fragrance of flowers, or chestnut fragrance with floral aroma, and its taste is fresh, or sweet, or full-bodied and mellow.

Key words: tea germplasm resource, Mountain Emei, agronomic traits, quality traits, factor analysis, clustering analysis
