A manually annotated Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis (kiwifruit) genome highlights the challenges associated with draft genomes and gene prediction in plants

Sarah M. Pilkington, +102 more
- 16 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: The use of the manual annotation tool WebApollo facilitated manual checking and correction of gene models enabling improvement of computational prediction, especially relevant for certain types of gene families such as the EXPANSIN like genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meiotic chromosome pairing behaviour of natural tetraploids and induced autotetraploids of Actinidia chinensis

TL;DR: Non-preferential chromosome pairing was identified in tetraploidActinidia chinensis and a higher mean multivalent frequency in pollen mother cells was found in colchicine-induced tetraPLoids of A. chinensis compared with naturally occurring tetraPloids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meiotic chromosome pairing in Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa.

TL;DR: To investigate whether preferential or non-preferential chromosome pairing occurs in A. chinensis var.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation, evolutionary trends and mapping of putative resistance and defence genes in Actinidia (kiwifruit)

TL;DR: A sample of genes representing both the basal defence and the resistance-gene mediated defence pathways, here termed collectively ‘resistance genes’, was characterised.
