Abstract: The tea plant has the characteristics of high heterozygosity, large genome and high duplication, which has led to the slow progress of the preliminary research on the tea plant genomes. The rapid development of genome sequencing technologies has strongly promoted the deciphering and improvement of the tea plant genomes. This article reviewed the development of genome sequencing technologies, and classified the assembly and research progress of tea plant genomes in recent years according to the draft level, chromosome level and haplotype level. By discussing the future application and development direction of tea plant genomes, it provided a reference for the functional genomics research and precision molecular breeding in tea plants.

Key words: Camellia sinensis, sequencing technology, genome, chromosome level, haplotype
