Spatial development of transport structures in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruit [PDF]
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 ...

Review of the self-incompatibility in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh., syn.: Malus pumila Mill.)
Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is one of the most important fruit crops showing ribonuclease-mediated self-incompatibility, and no self-compatible apple cultivars are known.

Precision Crop Load Management of Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) without Chemicals [PDF]
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 ...

Effects of crop load on tree water use in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.)
Sap flow rate measurements were carried out during two consecutive ('on' and 'off') years in an apple orchard cv. 'Florina' M.26 to analyse the effects of various crop load on tree water use.

Functional Characterization of MdTAC1a Gene Related to Branch Angle in Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.). [PDF]
The Tiller Angle Control 1 (TAC1) gene belongs to the IGT family, which mainly controls plant branch angle, thereby affecting plant form. Two members of MdTAC1 are identified in apple; the regulation of apple branch angle by MdTAC1 is still unclear. In this study, a subcellular localization analysis detected MdTAC1a in the nucleus and cell membrane ...

The genome of the domesticated apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) [PDF]
We report a high-quality draft genome sequence of the domesticated apple (Malus × domestica). We show that a relatively recent (>50 million years ago) genome-wide duplication (GWD) has resulted in the transition from nine ancestral chromosomes to 17 chromosomes in the Pyreae.

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.

Polyphenolics and Chemical Profiles of Domestic Norwegian Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) Cultivars [PDF]
Using modern analytical techniques, a comprehensive study of the chemical composition of fruits from apple cultivars grown in Western Norway during 2019 and 2020 was done. Metals, sugars, organic acids, antioxidant tests, and polyphenol content have been observed. In all investigated samples, the most dominant sugars were glucose, fructose, and sucrose.

Natural variations in MdBPM2/MdRGLG3-MdNAC83 network controlling the quantitative segregation of apple fruit storability. [PDF]
During postharvest cold storage of apples, the NAC transcription factor MdNAC83 binds to the promoters and activates the expression of downstream genes and is regulated by E3 ligases, which promote its ubiquitination and degradation. Genetic variants in MdNAC83 and its downstream genes form a network to regulate apple fruit storability.
