Skin Deep: Genetic Characterization And Prediction Of Russet Formation In ‘Honeycrisp’-Derived Apple Breeding Germplasm
Russet formation in apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a superficial skin disorder that detracts from fruit appearance and is a breeding target in many apple scion breeding programs. To-date, the understanding of the genetic basis of russet in apple has been limited to a relatively narrow set of …

Genomewide Selection in Apple: Prediction and Postdiction in the University of Minnesota Apple Breeding Program
Although marker assisted breeding is now considered routine in apple breeding programs, the adoption of genomewide selection is still in its infancy. Genomewide selection offers the potential to be a valuable tool to apple breeders. The first aim of this research was to assess the predictive …

Controlled Hybridization With An Apple Breeding Selection Of Reduced Scion Vigor And The Study Of The Tree Architecture Of Its Offspring
Selection 1, an apple (Malus xdomestica Borkh.) progeny of 'Fuji' x Co-op 18, was characterized by reduced stature and repeated occurrence of forks (lateral branches of the same length). Crossing Selection 1 with parents with contrasting architectures generated progeny 805 and 806. Forked branching …

SSR-based genetic mapping of QTLs determining chilling requirements for time of initial vegetative budbreak in domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) cultivar ‘Anna’ x ‘Austin’
… major temperate crops such as the domesticated apple(Malus x domestica Borkh.), peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) and European pear (Pyrus communis L.). However, despite its evident economic importance, it is generally poorly studied in genomic terms, relative to the other major crop groups. …
