Abstract: Green tea made from high-amino-acid tea cultivars has favorable economic and social benefits in the market due to its rich aroma,umami flavor,velvety taste,and integrated benefits to both human health and ornamental value,thus studies on it have become the hot spot in the tea science. With the development of life sciences into multi-omics era,transcriptomics,proteomics,and metabolomics have been developing rapidly,and are widely being used in various fields of tea science. Consequently,the multi-omics application becomes an indispensable part of studying high-amino-acid tea cultivars. This review covers recent progress of transcriptomics,proteomics,and metabolomics application on high-amino-acid tea cultivars,and also evaluates shortcomings and urgently-to-be-solved difficult problems while applying omics technologies in the study of high-amino-acid tea cultivars. Moreover,this paper briefly discusses the future study perspectives and application of omics technologies in high-amino-acid tea cultivars,aiming at providing a reference and direction for the further study of high-amino-acid tea cultivars,and also providing theoretical basis for new high-amino-acid tea cultivars breeding and efficient cultivation.

Key words: Camellia sinensis, omics technology, high amino acid
