For New Zealand kiwifruit scientist Sarah Pilkington, getting access to research material in China has been one of the highlights of her work.<\/p>\n

“Kiwifruit originated in China, any kiwifruit that exists around the world is from China,” Pilkington, referring to the fruit’s germplasm, said.<\/p>\n

“We want to help our Chinese colleagues protect what material is there and the diversity in it for the future.”<\/p>\n

The award-winning scientist leads a team who use molecular technologies to cultivate new kiwifruit varieties, or cultivars, at the Plant and Food Research group of the state Bioeconomy Science Institute in Auckland.<\/p>\n

The institute, formed through a merger of four organizations earlier this year, combines expertise in plant and animal systems, advanced manufacturing, agritech, biotechnology, and the food, biomaterials and environmental sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
