The 'Pomology & Viticulture' section has competence on temperate fruit crops
and grapevine. Focus is mainly in kiwifruit (Actinidia), of which the
Department holds the largest germplasm repository in Europe, grapevine
(Vitis), and to a lesser extent apple (Malus), peach (Persica), and cherry
(Prunus). Key research activities include: genetics and breeding, plant
physiology and metabolism.
