Summary
A restriction map of the chloroplast genome has been determined for kiwifruit, Actinidia deliciosa. Single and multiple enzyme digests of kiwifruit chloroplast DNA were hybridised to a set of Brassica chloroplast probes, and the kiwifruit bands aligned with the known Brassica map. The chloroplast DNA of kiwifruit is typical of the majority of angiosperm chloroplast genomes; it is 160 kb in size, contains a 15–34 kb inverted repeat, and its gene content and gene order are similar to those of the Brassica chloroplast genome.
