Abstract

Functional genomics play important role in plant improvement In tea, functional genomics work was initiated with the isolation of chalcone synthase gene from a Japanese green tea cultivar ‘Yabukita’ during 1994. Since then a significant amount of genomic work has been done in tea and its wild relatives targeting isolation and characterization of trait-specific genes and their expression under varying conditions. It has been evident that two types of efforts have been made: (i) cloning of individual gene associated with particular trait and (ii) differential gene expression which leads to identification of genes that are associated to a trait. Details accounts of functional genomics work along with application of modern tools such as metabolomics, proteomics, system biology as well as bioinformatics are described in this chapter.
