Uncovering the Metabolomic Differences Between Kiwifruit Varieties and Their Roots
A new study has just revealed important new information about the root metabolomics of kiwifruit. Researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand have used advanced metabolomics techniques to compare the root metabolome of three different kiwifruit varieties. Their results show that there are distinct differences in the root metabolomes of each variety, which could be used to inform horticulture practices in the future. This knowledge could also be used to improve the nutritional content and health benefits of kiwifruit.
