Kiwifruit Metabolomics-An Investigation of within Orchard Metabolite Variability of Two Cultivars of Actinidia chinensis.

ABSTRACT: Plant metabolomics within field-based food production systems is challenging owing to environmental variability and the complex architecture and metabolic growth cycles of plants. Kiwifruit cultivars of Actinidia chinensis are vigorous perennial vines grown as clones in highly structured orchard environments, intensively managed to maximize fruit yield and quality. To understand the metabolic responses of vines to orchard management practices, we needed to better understand the various sources of metabolic variability encountered in the orchard. Triplicate composite leaf, internode and fruit (mature and immature) samples were collected from each of six Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa 'Hayward' and A. chinensis var. chinensis 'Zesy002' kiwifruit vines at three times during the growing se
