Tissue growth in developing Actinidia chinensis 'Hort16A' fruit. Core tissue (yellow), inner pericarp (orange), outer pericarp (khaki), epidermis (maroon). A) Early growth stages, kiwifruit carpels and early fruit sections to stage 74 (55 days after anthesis, DAA). XS - cross section, LS - Longitudinal section. B) Structure of a cross section of an unfertilised kiwifruit carpel, showing the distribution of the different tissue types. At the centre of the fruit is the invagination of the centre of the carpel (stained brown). C) A summary of the growth from stages 75 (60 DAA) to stage 89 (238 DAA), and D) a cross section area of a fruit starting senescence (stage 90).
