Abstract:
... A good new late-ripening apple ‘Changping 8’ was raised at the Changli Institute of Pomology (China) in 2014. It was derived from a cross between ‘Iwafu 10’ and ‘Sakata Tsugaru’ in 1993. It is a moderately vigorous upright spreading tree that produces spurs freely. The cropping is good and picking time is late October. The fruits are middle-large in size with an attractive appearance. Its flesh is ...

Abstract:
... Apple is one of the most important fruit species in Turkey. However, growing summer type apples commercially has been neglected for many years. The first apple cultivar adaptation experiment began in 1981. Three summers, two autumns, and 12 winter cultivars were studied. ‘Jerseymac’ (summer cultivar), ‘Yellowspur Cooper-900’, and ‘Lutz Golden’ (winter cultivars) gave good yield and fruit quality r ...

Abstract:
... Different monitoring techniques were compared in three apple orchards in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate their reliability as tools for estimation of plum curculio activity on damage to fruits, during three consecutive years. Adult plum curculio activity was monitored for four weeks starting at bloom, and damage to fruits was assessed by examination of apple fruitlets during that same period. Adult ca ...

Abstract:
... In commercial apple production rootstocks are commonly propagated in stoolbeds. Alternatives such as in vitro propagation and cuttings are used to a much lesser extent, although they do provide some advantages over stoolbeds. We investigated ways to improve the softwood cutting technique by examining the effects of different rooting media (sand, peat, and vermiculite), auxin formulations (IBA, NAA ...

Abstract:
... Thirteen samples of related wild apples distributed in the region of Yili and adjacent areas of China were collected, and genetic fragment analysis using 12 microsatellite molecular genetic markers (SSRs) as proposed by ECPGR was carried out with a CEQ 8000 sequencer at the Kompetenzzentrum Obstbau-Bodensee (KOB) research station in Germany. The results were examined with the parentage analysis so ...

Abstract:
... Canopy photosynthetic capacity depends not only on leaf scale photosynthetic capacity but also on growing conditions, such as the rootstock or interstock, which affects the canopy structure. The interstock effect on photosynthetic capacity has not been well elucidated. This study aimed at comparing the photosynthesic performance of ‘Fuji’ apple trees at leaf and canopy scale and when grafted on a ...

Abstract:
... Poland produces more than 3 million t of apples annually, which in 2013 put this country fourth place in the world, behind China, the United States, and Turkey. However, in per capita terms, apple production in Poland is three times as high as in China, and more than six times as high as in the US. Apple orchards in Poland occupy an area of about 180 thousand ha. The soil and climatic conditions a ...

Abstract:
... Increasing climatic unpredictability associated with characteristics of some fruit species makes optimal stomatal behaviour an important trait in fruit breeding. However, porometers and other instruments provide only discrete measurements of stomatal conductance, which are difficult to average at canopy scale. We have applied a model based on rearranging a parameterized P-M equation incorporated i ...

Abstract:
... The presence of marker genes, especially for antibiotic resistance, in genetically modified plants is of concern to our society due to fears associated with risks for the environment and human health. The creation of transgenic plants that do not contain foreign genetic material, especially of bacterial and viral origin, largely alleviates this tension. In our research we used the pMF system conta ...
