Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) is a dioecious plant with fruits containing abundant vitamin C and minerals. A handful of kiwifruit species have been domesticated, among which the A. eriantha is increasingly favored in breeding due to its superior commercial traits. Recently, elite cultivars from A. eriantha have been successfully selected and further studies on their biology and breeding potential require genomic information which is currently unavailable. Here, we provide a high quality A. eriantha genome as well as its gene annotation. Availability of these data will facilitate the breeding program in the future.
