Abstract

In the present study, we have performed a comprehensive comparison of different accessions of the genus Actinidia. Simultaneously, we conducted a study of genetic diversity in both female and male plants to assist in the implementation of breeding processes. Different ploidy levels, viz. 2x, 4x, and 6x, were determined for A. kolomikta (Rupr. & Maxim.) Maxim., A. arguta (Siebold & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq., A. callosa Lindl., and A. melanandra Franch., species. The genetic analysis of Actinidia cultivars and clones at 14 nuclear microsatellite loci showed the that accessions possessed high levels of genetic variability. The genetic analysis conducted by using the STRUCTURE population analysis software revealed high genetic variability between A. arguta cultivars and clones.
