Abstract: In this work the structure of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch. Var.36) chloroplasts which are in pericarp, mesocarp and core have been viewed by transmission electron microscope, and drop gradually from pericarp to core. From lamellae arrangement it can be seen that the pericarp chloroplasts consist of parallel lamella membrane structure, however, in the mesocarp and core, the lamella membrane is distorted. It is possible attributed to the light scarcity and low pH Volue. The chloroplasts in pericarp, mesocarp and core all contain starch granules which may be from kiwifruit photosynthesis, but the size and numbers are less than those of lesves.
