This research used digital images to explore some of the factors responsible for consumer preference of visual characteristics of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The images systematically varied in color and shape (Expt. A: 9 images) and type, shape, and background color (Expt. B: 10 images), while keeping apple size constant. Visual assessments of the apple images were collected from 144 con...

The established protocol for the cryopreservation of winter-dormant Malus buds requires that stem explants, containing a single, dormant bud are desiccated at -4 degree C, for up to 14 days, to reduce their water content to 25-30 percent of fresh weight. Using three apple cultivars, with known differences in response to cryopreservation, the pattern of evaporative water loss has been characteri...

For a number of decades, Russian Research Institute Fruit Crop Breeding (formerly the Orel experimental fruit-berry station) has been studying large collection apple cultivars common selection, which includes: Antonovka Obyknovennaya, Krasnobochka, Anis, Babushkino, Borovinka, Grushovka Moskovskaya, Korichnoye Polosatoye, Korobovka, Osenneye Papirovka, Papirovka Tetraploidnaya, Renet Zolotoy Ku...

Study was conducted during three consecutive years, 2018-2020, in Deçan of Kosovo. There studied the expression main fruit indicators six new planted apple cultivars. Mean weight varied from 93.3 g (Gold Delicious clone B) to 184.2 (Jonagored). Saturn cultivar produced largest size (80 x 84 mm), while Montear Gala lowest (58 70 mm). Fruit dry matter content varies 14.6% (Saturn and cultivars) 1...

In the frame of the DARE (Durable Apple Resistance in Europe) project, a collection of strains of Venturia inaequalis was established. It comprises 319 strains from 8 European countries, isolated from 48 different Malus species and M. x domestica cultivars. The pathogenicity of 39 strains from this collection was tested on a set of 8 differential hosts, under controlled conditions (in a growth-...

to determine the phenolic content and antioxidant activity in some native iranian apple cultivars, some five cultivars namely: 'bekran', 'golab-e kermanshah', 'golab-e kohanz' 'golab-e sheikhi' and 'atlasi' were selected and compared with the standard cultivar 'gala'. the profiles related to four phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-galactoside, catechin, and phloridzin) were deter...

Apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.) breeding at the University of Minnesota (UMN) has been ongoing continuously since 1908 when staff originally planted thousands seedlings from open-pollinated (OP) seeds collected regional orchards. The first cultivar program, ‘Minnehaha’, was introduced in 1920 and several others these OP followed over next 3 decades. Controlled crosses were initiated 1916, unt...
