“…The collections consist of about 3500 genotypes, arising from over 300 accessions , sourced mainly from different provinces of China (Table ). The Actinidia taxa with red or purple fruit − that were studied are listed in Table . A few other species are reported as sometimes having red flesh or skin, e.g., A.…”

Red-fleshed fruit occur in a small number of distantly related taxa in different sections of the genus Actinidia (kiwifruit). We describe and identify the anthocyanin profile of fruit of several Actinidia species. Differences in the relative amounts of cyanidin- and delphinidin-based anthocyanins determine whether the fruit appear red or purple. Cyanidin derivatives have been found in all Actinidia species that contain anthocyanins, whereas delphinidin derivatives are limited to two taxa: A. melanandra and A. arguta var. purpurea . The fruit of these not only contain a wider range of anthocyanins, but they also have greater concentrations. Anthocyanins of most Actinidia species are usually conjugated with either xylosyl-galactose or galactose, whereas A. deliciosa anthocyanins are conjugated with glucose and galactose.

“…Several methods can be mentioned for the evaluation of pollen viability: using artificial sucrose media -"Sitting Drop" culture method (Shivanna and Rangaswamy, 1992); evaluation by acetic carmine staining (Domingues et al, 1999); incubation in Baker solution (Oliveira et al, 2001) or the germination test in culture medium (Abreu and Oliveira, 2004;Einhardt et al, 2006;Franzon and Raseira, 2006;Pio et al, 2007). In Romania, kiwifruit was introduced in 1993, in the South East area through an Italian-Romanian kiwifruit breeding program (Stănică and Zuccherelli, 2007;Stǎnicǎ, 2009;Stănică and Zuccherelli, 2009). After more than two decades of research, several hybrid genotypes were obtained and introduced to be tested.…”

Kiwi is a new fruit that can be grown in Romania. A common Italian-Romanian kiwifruit breeding program was initiated in 1993. For pollinator (male) kiwi plants, breeding programs involve the selection of elite plants with long flowering period and high pollen germination rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pollen grains from fifteen Romanian kiwifruit hybrids for identifying the most suitable pollinators for kiwi female selections released from our breeding program. The fresh pollen grains were collected during pollination period (2018-2020), in Petri dishes, maintained at room temperature for 12 hours, and then placed in 15% sucrose solution for germination. At different time interval: 4, 8, 12 and respectively, 24 hours, several measurements were done. Four genotypes – R0P3, R0P6, R2P8 and R3P9, which recorded over 90% germinability after 24 hours, have been selected for further field tests, including artificial pollination and compatibility tests with the kiwi female selections.
