Abstract
The kiwifruit (syn mihoutao, mao yangtao, Chinese gooseberry) is an important horticultural crop in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa, the United States, Italy, Japan, France, Greece, China, Canada, and elsewhere (Warrington 1990). It was previously known as Actinidia chinensis Planch., but has recently been renamed A. deliciosa. A. chinensis now refers to the smooth-skinned, rather than stiff-haired, fruit species (Liang and Fergulson 1984).l
