This book describes the basic botanical features of kiwifruit and
its wild relatives, reports on the steps that led to its genome
sequencing, and discusses the results obtained with the assembly
and annotation. The core chapters provide essential insights into
the main gene families that characterize this species as a crop,
including the genes controlling sugar and starch metabolism,
pigment biosynthesis and degradation, the ascorbic-acid pathway,
fruit softening and postharvest metabolism, allergens, and
resistance to pests and diseases. The book offers a valuable
reference guide for taxonomists, geneticists and horticulturists.
Further, since information gained from the genome sequence is
extraordinarily useful in assessing the breeding value of
individuals based on whole-genome scans, it will especially benefit
plant breeders. Accordingly, chapters are included that focus on
gene introgression from wild relatives and genome-based breeding.
