Genetic Resources

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Kiwifruit Genome

Part of the book series: Compendium of Plant Genomes ((CPG))

Abstract

As one of the most recently domesticated fruit crops, tremendous genetic resources exist in genetic pools of germplasm repositories and in breeding projects as well as in the wild. This chapter focuses on a wide spectrum of genetic resources that are more important to genetic enhancement for germplasm innovation, breeding practice, and new cultivar development, including species diversity, gender diversity, and genetic variation of important fruit characteristics. Ploidy variation is discussed in Chap. 5.
