Abstract:
Diversity analysis of phenotypic characteristics for 113 Henan local teas germplasm resources. The results showed that the phenotypic characteristics of Henan local tea germplasm resources were rich in variation and diversity. The average diversity index (
H') of 12 descriptive characteristics were 0.97, the highest was leaf color and character of leaf level, respectively. There were significant correlations among those phenotypic characteristics.The biggest correlation coefficient was 0.85 between the leaf length and the leaf area.The 113 germplasm resources were clustered into 4 groups by using cluster analysis based on those 12 descriptive characteristics. According to the leaf area, leaf shape and leaf color, the 113 Henan local tea germplasm resources were divided into 31 types.
