p agricultural scientists grow more nutritious or disease-resistant produce.

Our research has decoded the structure and evolution of the kiwifruit genome, says Wang. Kiwifruit is one important fruit, rich in vitamin C. Understanding its genomic structure may help us manipulate its genes to produce more nutritious kiwifruit.

Wang's team will continue decoding the kiwi and other plant genomes. They plan to explore more genes that could be copied to produce more successful fruits and vegetables.
