Abstract First-order axillary buds from
Actinidia
arguta (Siebold et Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq. shoots were shown to develop
second-order axillary structures in the first growing season of their
development. This is contrary to what has been reported earlier. More
importantly, the now revised description of
A. arguta bud development
does not support the hypothesis that flower evocation in kiwifruit
(
Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C. F. Liang et A. R. Ferguson) occurs in
the spring of the second-growing season of bud development, immediately before
flower differentiation.
Keywords Actinidia arguta; bud development; axillary
