April 2024
The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) gene family plays a pivotal role in plant development and stress responses. Nevertheless, a comprehensive characterization of the HD-Zip gene family in kiwifruit has been lacking. In this study, we have systematically identified 70 HD-Zip genes in the Actinidia chinensis (Ac) genome and 55 in the Actinidia eriantha (Ae) genome.

- Actinidia arguta is a widely distributed species known for its small, smooth fruit, rapid softening, and strong cold tolerance, distinguished from the cultivated Actinidia chinensis.
- Researchers created a detailed genome assembly of A. arguta, which is 2.77 Gb long and organized into 116 pseudo-chromosomes, revealing two distinct geographic groups based on evolutionary divergences.
- The study identified three key genes that contribute to fruit softening and explored the genetic basis of traits related to sexual dimorphism, providing a foundation for future research and agricultural enhancement of this species.
