Evaluation of the heterozygosity of 18 representative tea plants using RAD-seq for selection of individuals to genome sequencing. The left panel indicates the accession names of tea plant species/varieties. The F1 individual was a hybrid from “Yunkang #10 × Fudingdabaicha”. The middle panel shows the heterozygosity dynamics among different tea plants. Orange bar represents wild tea plants, while blue and green bars characterize semi-wild and cultivated tea plants, respectively. The right panel indicates species name. The heterozygous data of each tea plant was collected from our previous work6,10.
