A case of chloroplast heteroplasmy in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) that is not transmitted during sexual reproduction.

The First Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequences in Actinidiaceae: Genome Structure and Comparative Analysis

Actinidia chinensis is an important economic plant belonging to the basal lineage of the asterids. Availability of a complete Actinidia chloroplast genome sequence is crucial to understanding phylogenetic relationships among major lineages of angiosperms and facilitates kiwifruit genetic improvement. We report here the complete nucleotide sequences of the chloroplast genomes for Actinidia chine...

New Temperate Fruits: Actinidia chinensis and Actinidia deliciosa

The above statement may accurately represent the current situation but will very soon be out of date. The last 30 years has seen the emergence of the kiwifruit from being a small but increasing crop in one country to being a crop of worldwide significance. The next few years will see the entry of new and quite different Actinidia fruit into international trade. The kiwifruit (Actinidia delicios...

Effect of Hydrogen Cyanamide on Flowering, Yeild and Fruit Quality of Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward Kiwifruit in The East of Guilan Provinve

Identification of a chloroplast coenzyme A-binding protein related to the peroxisomal thiolases.

A 30-kD coenzyme A (CoA)-binding protein was isolated from spinach (Spinacea oleracea) chloroplast soluble extracts using affinity chromatography under conditions in which 95% of the total protein was excluded. The 30-kD protein contains an eight-amino-acid sequence, DVRLYYGA, that is identical to a region in a 36-kD protein of unknown function that is encoded by a kiwifruit (Actinidia delicios...

Specific detection of potentially allergenic kiwifruit in foods using polymerase chain reaction.

Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia chinensis) is allergenic to sensitive patients, and, under Japanese regulations, it is one of the food items that are recommended to be declared on food labeling as much as possible. To develop PCR-based methods for the detection of trace amounts of kiwifruit in foods, two primer pairs targeting the ITS-1 region of the Actinidia spp. were designed us...
