Abstract: Kiwifruit(Actinidia Lindl.)is an important fruit tree crop in China. With the development of modern biotechnology,traditional breeding of kiwifruit is mainly based on the selection from wilding and seedling,these methods presents coexist situation the challenge and opportunity compared with the application of molecular breeding such as the genomics and transgenesis. Compared with the other fruit trees,the researches for the genomics of kiwifruit are still at a relatively low level. This paper summarized the method,application,and the latest research progress of modern biotechnology in kiwifruit genetic breeding,and discussed the breeding strategy of kiwifruit in China,in order to provide the method and thought reference for kiwifruit conversional and transgenesis breeding in China.

Key words: Actinidia, genome, transgene, breeding
