IshVed Biotech Tissue-cultured Kiwi: A prospective solution for ever-increasing needs

The kiwifruit or Chinese gooseberry, is a sweet fruit with a slightly tangy flavour and is known to be grown in New Zealand, China and European countries. Kiwis are nutrient-dense foods-they are rich in nutrients and low in calories. Kiwi has a reputation as a health food because of high vitamin C content, but the fruit is also rich in other nutrients. Kiwis may also help reduce blood pressure, boost wound healing, help maintain bowel health and more. The market for Kiwi has grown significantly because of its increased availability in global markets, owing to the spread of globalisation. Kiwi plants are usually propagated asexually by grafting fruiting varieties onto rootstocks or by rooting Kiwi cuttings. They may also be propagated by seed, but the resulting parents are not guaranteed to be true to the parent plants. This is where tissue culture comes into play. Realizing this potential and the ever-increasing demand, Ishved Biotech has come up with tissue cultured kiwi plants. Now, high value plants of Kiwi can reach growers and farmers across the globe.
