Chinese Gooseberry, Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.)

  • Chapter
Crops II

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 6))

Abstract

Successful research on tissue cultures of Chinese gooseberry and their application have been carried out. Harada (1975) first reported organ cultures of Chinese gooseberry. He used fragments originating from stem or root of 5 mm in diameter and 1.5 cm in length. The material included male and female plants of Actinidia chinensis Planch. Shoots, roots and embryoids formed in the cultures. Several researchers continued these studies which are summarized in Table 1. Commercial propagation of the plants of A. chinensis Planch. by tissue culture has also been carried out in Italy (Zuccherelli and Zuccherelli 1981). This article will introduce the methods and results of the cultures of several kinds of explants of Actinidia.
