Genetic features of representatives of Malus Mill. for the formation of identified collections and breeding use

Abstract For the active mobilization of bioresources leading agricultural fruit plants, especially apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.), and inclusion best samples gene pool in breeding, it is necessary to know their genetic characteristics according priority desired traits. The purpose study allelic polymorphism Md-PG1 representatives Mill. identify sources long-term keeping fruits form an identified collection trees for breeding use. studies were carried out Center Collective Use «Research Breeding Collection Genetic Resources Horticultural Crops»; generally accepted programs methods variety trees. Based on data molecular analysis, carriers combination AA - varieties: Smeralda, Egemen, Georgiya, hybrids 17/1-6-42 (Champion Modi) 17/2-5-15 (Renuartsiv Carmen). selected varieties hybrid forms are promising process creating domestic resources with improved quality indicators, including a genetically determined increase shelf life fruits.
