BAC sequences of tea plant BAC library. tea plant BAC library

Tea is a popular and natural non-alcoholic beverage, and is produced from fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis. Tea leaves contain many bioactive compounds that have significant health benefits. We constructed a high quality bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library by using the fresh petals of C. sinensis ‘Shuchazao’ for genome sequencing and improvement of genomic assembly.
