Abstract excerpt
Heterosis, widely used in plant breeding to enhance yield and quality, is not yet fully understood at the allelic level, particularly in woody plants such as Camellia sinensis, the tea plant. In this study, the first haplotype (HA)-resolved genome of JGY, the most widely cultivated hybrid oolong tea cultivar in China, is presented, and the contribution of its epigenetic and 3D genomic features to heterosis is...
