Abstract
- Based upon the morphological characteristics, tea is classified botanically into 2 main types i.e. Assam and China, which are morphologically very distinct. Further, they are so easily pollinated among themselves, that a third category, Cambod type is also described. Although the general consensus of origin of tea is India, Burma and China adjoining area, yet specific origin of China and Assam type tea are not yet clear. Thus, we made an attempt to understand the origin of Indian tea through the comparative analysis of different chloroplast (cp) genomes under the Camellia genus by performing evolutionary study and comparing simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and codon usage distribution patterns among them. The Cp genome based phylogenetic analysis indicated that Indian Tea, TV1 formed a different group from that of China tea, indicating that TV1 might have undergone different domestications and hence owe different origins. The simple sequence repeats (SSRs) analysis and codon usage distribution patterns also supported the clustering order in the cp genome based phylogenetic tree.
