METHOD FOR BREEDING EXCELLENT TEA PLANT VARIETIES CAPABLE OF INHIBITING TUMOR

摘要

The present application provides a method for breeding tea plants capable of inhibiting tumor. With the content of basic active components of the tea plants, the tea plants capable of inhibiting tumor are selected using distant hybridization according to the content of total catechins≥22%, wherein the content of EGCG≥12%, the content of catechins C≥2%, the content of ECG≥3.5%, and the content of caffeine≥4.5%. The tea produced can inhibit the growth of several kinds of human tumor cells in vitro.
