Abstract:Fruit quality and pollen morphology from electron microscope scanning of ‘Red Sun’ kiwifruit and its red2fleshed sport (86-3) were studied. The resultswere as follows: The content of anthocyanin in 86-3 increased significantly and stayed stable in the consecutive two years, while other qualitieswere not so good as those of‘Red Sun’. The polar views, equatorial views and exine ornaments of pollen grains were similar between 86-3 and ‘Red Sun’, while the length ratios of polar axis and equatorial axis ( P/E) were distinctively different. The study of pollen morphology indicated that there was a little difference in functional genes between 86-3 and its maternal plant.
