EST contig-based SSR linkage maps for Malus × domestica cv Royal Gala and an apple scab resistant accession of M. sieversii , the progenitor species of domestic apple [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Malus sieversii is a progenitor species of domestic apple M.×domestica. Using population "GMAL 4595” of 188 individuals derived from a cross of Royal Gala×PI 613988 (apple scab resistant, M. sieversii), 287 SSR (simple sequence repeats) loci were mapped.

An Apple a Day Does Not Keep the Weevils Away: Enhancing Vine Weevil Monitoring With Fruit‐Based Volatiles

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 168-178, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

Genome Assembly Revealed MdZAT5 Coordinates Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple Fruit Peel and Flesh by Interacting With MdHY5

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1655-1677, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins are plant pigments that contribute to fruit coloration and nutritional quality, yet the coordinated regulation of their accumulation in both peel and flesh remains elusive. Here, we present a haplotype‐resolved genome of Malus cv. ‘Royalty’, a model cultivar with consistently red peel and flesh. A zinc‐finger transcription factor,

Doubled Haploid production in fruit crops. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The interest of fruit breeders in haploids and doubled haploids (DH), lies in the possibility of shortening the time needed to produce homozygous lines compared to conventional breeding.

Variability in apple fruit quality across management systems and latitudinal climate gradients

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 212-230, January 2026.
As the world transitions to more sustainable agricultural practices to combat environmental damage, it is important to investigate how different management systems shape the quality and nutrition of our crops. We analyzed apples from paired organic and conventional sites across the western United States.

Biological control of apple scab and fire blight by the application of the non-pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens Bk3 to the leaf surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The biological control of plant diseases by application of antagonistic microorganisms to the plant phyllosphere is an alternative strategy to prevent the frequent treatment of plants by pesticides.

Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 421-432, January 2026.
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...

Genomic Selection for Fruit Quality Traits in Apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.)

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The genome sequence of apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) was published more than a year ago, which helped develop an 8K SNP chip to assist in implementing genomic selection (GS). In apple breeding programmes, GS can be used to obtain genomic breeding values (GEBV) for choosing next-generation parents or selections for further testing as potential ...
