Abstract excerpt
Commercially grown kiwifruit (genus Actinidia) are generally of two sub-species which have a base haploid genome of 29 chromosomes. The yellow-fleshed Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis, is either diploid (2n = 2x = 58) or tetraploid (2n = 4x = 116) and the green-fleshed cultivar A. chinensis var. deliciosa "Hayward," is hexaploid (2n = 6x = 174). Advances in breeding green kiwifruit could be greatly sped up by...
