Teabase: A Comprehensive Omics Database of Camellia.

Camellia is an economically important crop that has been highly valued by human society for a long time. It encompasses various species, such as the magical oriental leaves (Camellia sect. Thea), the garden of the royalties (Camellia japonica) and the oil-seed crop (Camellia oleifera)(Macfarlane, 2004). Despite the long history of cultivation of some Camellia species worldwide, our understanding of their genetic variation was limited until the end of the 20th century, when developments in genomics and sequencing technologies emerged.
