North American apple-tree species: sources of useful agronomic traits for breeding
https://doi.org/10.30901/2227-8834-2021-3-86-90
Abstract
The results of studying the collection of North American apple-tree species are presented. Forms with a whole set of traits interesting for breeding are highlighted, including such features as late flowering schedule, disease resistance, long shelf life of fruits, etc. In addition, the small-fruited ornamental apple-tree (crab apple) accessions obtained from North American species are briefly described, and the most valuable of them are recommended for practical uses.
Supporting agencies: The work was done within the framework of the State Task according to the theme plan of VIR, Project No. 0662-2020- 0004 “Collections of vegetatively propagated crops (potato, fruit, berry and ornamental crops, grapes) and their wild relatives at VIR: studying and sustainable utilization”.
