Actinidia deliciosa, known as kiwifruit, has gained a great popularity and demand due to its nutritional and medicinal value. Actinidia genus has at least three cultivated species with an important economic role. In vitro culture of kiwifruit species was an important tool for plant micropropagation and for unconventional breeding (direct organogenesis, callogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, cells culture, etc). The actual paper presents a comprehensive image of the main results that were achieved in different in vitro cultures of kiwifruit species. New alternative developments are being proposed in order to obtain efficient protocols of the species for production of clonal planting materials.
