Inheritance of pollen enzymes and polyploid origin of apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) [PDF]
Electrophoresis of 7 pollen enzymes was applied to 5 progenies from controlled crosses and one self-progeny of apple. Segregation data were examined according to three kinds of hypotheses: monogenic disomic, bigenic disomic and tetrasomic inheritance Twenty codominant alleles and a recessive null were identified.

Metaxenic pollen effect of scab resistant apple cultivars on the fruit of apple
As a part of an apple breeding program, we have examined the pollen effect on the fruit appearance and inner quality of different apple cultivars in the Corvinus University of Budapest Department of Fruit Science. Five apple cultivars ('Golden Reinders',

Metabolic and gene expression analysis of apple (Malus × domestica) carotenogenesis [PDF]
Carotenoid accumulation confers distinct colouration to plant tissues, with effects on plant response to light and as well as health benefits for consumers of plant products. The carotenoid pathway is controlled by flux of metabolites, rate-limiting enzyme steps, feed-back inhibition, and the strength of sink organelles, the plastids, in the cell.

Spatial development of transport structures in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruit
The void network and vascular system are important pathways for the transport of gases, water and solutes in apple fruit (Malus x domestica Borkh). Here we used X-ray micro-tomography at various spatial resolutions to investigate the growth of these ...

Precision Crop Load Management of Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) without Chemicals
Fruit thinning is an important management practice in commercial apple production. The standard industry practice for crop load management in many countries is based on bloom and/or post-bloom chemical thinning (CT) followed up with hand thinning ...

A FRUITFULL-like gene is associated with genetic variation for fruit flesh firmness in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) [PDF]
The FRUITFULL (FUL) and SHATTERPROOF (SHP) genes are involved in regulating fruit development and dehiscence in Arabidopsis. We tested the hypothesis that this class of genes are also involved in regulating the development of fleshy fruits, by exploring ...

Genomic characterization of putative allergen genes in peach/almond and their synteny with apple [PDF]
Background Fruits from several species of the Rosaceae family are reported to cause allergic reactions in certain populations. The allergens identified belong to mainly four protein families: pathogenesis related 10 proteins, thaumatin-like proteins ...

Alteration of the phenylpropanoid pathway by watercore disorder in apple (Malus x domestica)
Abstract Watercore is a physiological disorder of apple expressed as fluid deposition in intercellular spaces. We analysed the watercore prone cultivar 'Fuji' to establish a link between enzymatic response and fluid accumulation in the fruit. Individual phenolic content, selected enzyme activities of the phenylpropanoid pathway, sugars and organic ...
