Abstract: Conventional breeding of tea plant is laborious and time-consuming, due to long generation, self-incompatibility and high heterozygosity. A saturated genetic map is a vital tool in the analysis of genome structure, genetic evolution, QTLs (Quantitative trait loci), gene cloning and MAS (Marker assisted selection), which may provide great potential for accelerating cultivar improvement programme in tea plant. This paper introduced the construction theory and procedure of genetic mapping, as well as research progress and problems encountered by previous workers in genetic map construction of tea plant. Finally, we proposed improved strategies for the construction of genetic map of tea plant.
