Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genetic diversity provides the cornerstone for kiwifruit plant improvement. The wide range variation of the species diversity and rich genetic resource of kiwifruit provides tremendous potential for cultivar improvement to enhance the sustainability of the world kiwifruit industry. Understanding genetic diversity and the structure of kiwifruit and their suitable habitat response to environmental changes is critical for the protection and utilization of germplasm resources.
All published research papers should cover the latest research with innovative significance, especially in the field of kiwifruit breeding, including genetic breeding, genetic diversity of germplasm resources, multi-omics research, QTL analysis, and transgenic research. Additionally, studies related to kiwifruit quality and health will also be considered.
