APPLE BREEDING PROGRAMS AND METHODS: THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT by E. N. Sedov

“…They are valuable in amateur gardens, first of all. Breeders have to develop columnar, scab-resistant and triploid apple cultivars with high quality fruit.In the future, breeding should be aimed at developing cultivars for true-rooted apple and autogamous cultivars with the use of apetalous plants.With regard to the global climate warming, it may become necessary to revise the range of apple varieties and directions in breeding.…”
