Abstract
<p>Tea is an important plantation crop of India, which generates huge employment opportunities in rural and hilly backward places.<br />Being a woody perennial crop with an economic life span of more than 60 years, it also has a role in sustaining the ecosystem.<br />Because of its long gestation period, as observed from conventional breeding, alternative methods such as molecular breeding is<br />highly relevant, which is rather limited in tea breeding programmes. Therefore, adoption of biotechnological approaches is a<br />better option to shorten the breeding cycle of tea. Recent developments from the biotechnological research works on tea and<br />related species are summarized in the review.</p>
