Molecular breeding of flower load related traits in dioecious autotetraploid Actinidia arguta Open
Flowering plants exhibit a wide range of sexual reproduction systems, with the majority being hermaphroditic. However, some plants, such as Actinidia arguta (kiwiberry), have evolved into dioecious species with distinct female and male vin…

Implementation of different relationship estimate methodologies in Breeding Value prediction in kiwiberry (Actinidia arguta) Open
In dioecious crops such as Actinidia arguta (kiwiberries), some of the main challenges when breeding for fruit characteristics is the selection of potential male parents and the long juvenile period. Currently, breeding values of male pare…
