Who wouldn't recognize a kiwifruit, the goose egg-sized fruit with a fuzzy brown outer skin and delicious green flesh inside? They're sold in supermarkets everywhere all year long. The fruit comes not from a tree, like an apple or cherry, but from a vigorous twining woody vine: the kiwi, kiwifruit, or Chinese gooseberry: Actinidia deliciosa, formerly A. Chinensis. Thanks for choosing this book as your personal guide to becoming a grower of your own kiwi vines. We will cover the topic of the kiwi fruit from where it originated to how you can save yourself a plane trip by growing your own fresh kiwi right in the comfort of your own backyard. Even if your yard is located in zone 4! Over 50 species of fruit are part of the kiwi's genus. Within these pages, we will be specifically looking into growing hardy varieties of kiwi that are suitable for growing in colder climates. You will discover a collection of information that you will need to start and maintain your own kiwi vines. The data will also help those who are perhaps thinking about growing kiwi vines but are not quite decided if it would suit their gardening skills. I hope that this book will help to convince you that you can easily grow your own kiwi vines in a colder climate. Try to imagine how satisfying it will feel when you can finally pick fresh kiwi from your own vine! Buy this book now.

This book describes the basic botanical features of kiwifruit and its wild relatives, reports on the steps that led to its genome sequencing, and discusses the results obtained with the assembly and annotation. The core chapters provide essential insights into the main gene families that characterize this species as a crop, including the genes controlling sugar and starch metabolism, pigment biosynthesis and degradation, the ascorbic-acid pathway, fruit softening and postharvest metabolism, allergens, and resistance to pests and diseases. The book offers a valuable reference guide for taxonomists, geneticists and horticulturists. Further, since information gained from the genome sequence is extraordinarily useful in assessing the breeding value of individuals based on whole-genome scans, it will especially benefit plant breeders. Accordingly, chapters are included that focus on gene introgression from wild relatives and genome-based breeding.

Kiwifruit is one of the few fruit crops that has been successfully introduced to the marketplace and for which commercial production in several countries has expanded rapidly over the last 50 years. Kiwifruit science and production has advanced significantly during this time, with multiple new green-, yellow- and red-fleshed cultivars being commercialized while moving into the era of genomics, sustainability, digital technology and automation. This book reviews the scientific and technical information published on kiwifruit, their biology and management. It provides a comprehensive reference on kiwifruit, including their history, genetic material, culture, physiology, pest and disease control, and fruit consumption. Particular attention is given to recent threats and opportunities, including environmental issues, the disease Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, new genetics, new growing areas and technology advances. Contributions from a wide range of international specialists ensure coverage of key aspects of kiwifruit and their culture in different environments.
