Research Advances of Kiwifruit Breeding

摘要

Advances of cultivar selection and germplasm innovation strategies of kiwifruit mainly including Actinidia Deliciosa, Actinidia Chinensis, Actinidia Eriantha and Actinidia Arguta were summarized in order to provide a solid basis for its sustainable development. The major cultivars of Actinidia Deliciosa that planted in China included Qingmei, Jinkui, Miliang 1, Xuxiang, Huamei 1, Wancui, Qinxiang and Hayward. The Kuimi, Lushanxiang, Suxiang, Jinyang 1, Hongyang and Cuiyu were the main cultivars of Actinidia Chinensis in China. The major cultivars selected from Actinidia Eriantha and Actinidia Arguta were Shanong 18, Anzhangmaohua 2, Huate, and Kuilu, Fenglu, respectively. In addition, new gerntplasms of kiwifruit could be created by chemical mutation, gene transformation and interspecific or intraspecific sexual hybridization with the help of molecular markers assisted breeding.
