Occlusion prediction for kiwifruit yield estimation
Kiwifruit is very important to the New Zealand economy, bringing in NZ$2.39 billion in the 2017/2018 season and projected to grow to NZ$4.5 billion by 2025. Every season, the expected yield from each orchard is estimated. These estimates are used for both on-orchard decisions regarding thinning and …

Agricultural Spray Dynamics for Automated Pollination of Kiwifruit
… pollination is limited. Specific focus is on kiwifruit and on spraying from a moving robotic platform. A suite of commercial and early-concept nozzles was analyzed and compared, then evaluated based on operating constraints. This was accompanied by experiments conducted in orchards during …

Physicochemical properties and molecular structure of kiwifruit starch
Kiwifruit is a popular fruit crop worldwide due to its palatable taste and desirable nutritional properties. Kiwifruit is a starch-storing fruit: it accumulates abundant starch by the time commercial harvesting occurs, and most of the starch is gradually hydrolyzed into simple sugars during …

The transcriptional regulation and health benefits of anthocyanin in Actinidia (kiwifruit) species
… the health benefits of anthocyanin in Actinidia (kiwifruit) species. The Actinidia genus consists of over 70 species, some of which are intensely pigmented throughout the skin and flesh. The first goal was to characterise the transcription factors (TFs) involved in the regulation of anthocyanin in …
