Using achievements of fruit crop genetics and breeding: a contribution from the Michurinsk Department of the Vavilov Society of Geneticists and Breeders by N. I. Savel’ev, N. N. Savel’eva

“…These primers amplify specific PCR product of 586 bp (5’CR). On the basis of molecular-genetic analysis of apple initial forms and hybrid seedlings, there were identified targeted alleles of monogenic scab resistance genes including dominant homozygous genotype (Rvi6Rvi6) and also alleles of genes involved in the control of the biosynthesis of ethylene (Md-ACS1 and Md-ACO1) and expansin (Md-Exp7) controlling fruit long shelf life and pulp firmness.…”
