Apple Breeding: a Study of Jonathan Crosses
J une, 1928 Research Bulletin No. 116 A.pple Breeding: A Study of Jonathan Crosses By H. L . LANTZ AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION IOWA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS C. F. CURTISS, Director POMOLOGY SECTION AMES, IOWA SUMMARY Two hundred seventy-three Jonathan seedlings produced by 11 crosses form the basis of the records in this bulletin. These studies show clearly that the progenies produced by the different crosses of Jonathan differ or vary in many important char acteristics. These variations are attributed to differences in the genetic constitution of the Eeveral varieties which were used in combination with Jonathan, and indicate the relative value of these varieties as parents when crossed with Jonathan. The range of variation in the seedlings of these progenies is gen erally quite wide both as to tree and fruit. Differences in the horti cultural characteristics such as occur in size, form, color, flavor, quality and season of the seedling fruits suggest that multiple fac tors are concerned, which produce the many variations observed. Jonathan appears to carry as partially dominant factors for medi um and below medium size of fruit, but it evidently carries factors also for large and for small size. Factors for roundish, conic, ob late and oblong fruit forms are present. Jonathan appears to be homozygous for red skin color but is heterozygous for pattern and carries factors for both fine and coarse grained flesh, for juiciness, for both acid and sweet flavor and for very good as well as for poor quality. The factors which control the season of the fruit are evi dently complex.

Investigation of Wild Species Potential to Increase Genetic Diversity Useful for Apple Breeding
UDC 575.630 DOI: 10.2298/GENSR1503993D Original scientific paper INVESTIGATION OF WILD SPECIES POTENTIAL TO INCREASE GENETIC DIVERSITY USEFUL FOR APPLE BREEDING Catalina DAN1, Adriana F. SESTRAS1,*, Calin BOZDOG1,2, Radu E. SESTRAS1 1University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania 2Fruit Research Station, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Dan C., A. F. Sestras, C. Bozdog, R.E. Sestras (2015): Investigation of wild species potential to increase genetic diversity useful for apple breeding - Genetika, Vol 47, No. 3, 993-1011. The potential of testing new apple cultivars and the possibility to induce valuable traits is directly dependent on the availability of sufficient genetic diversity, while apple breeding has narrowed the genetic ground of commercial cultivars. Wild species were studied in regard to their influence upon progenies and their capacity to enlarge apple genetic diversity. The interspecific seedlings were framed in five biparental mating (paired crosses), in which Malus species were crossed with different cultivars, obtaining half-sib families. The number of F1 progenies per combination varied from 31 (Cluj 218/2 × M. floribunda) up to 142 (Reinette Baumann × M. floribunda), with a total of 1650 hybrids F1. The influences upon vigour and juvenile period and possible correlation among fruit size and taste were analyzed. Juvenile period varied from 6.00 (M. zumi × Jonathan) to 9.31 years (Cluj 218/2 × M. floribunda). Data based on correlation coefficient illustrated that the fructification year was not influenced by the vigour of trees. The highest value of correlation for fruit’s size and taste was obtained among M. coronaria hybrids. This result might suggest that once the fruit are larger, there is a high chance the taste is also more appreciative and fruit quality for mouth feels increase.

The apple is older in cultivation than the rose. It presents all the extremes in color, size, fragrance place. and plant character of its rose cousin plus an important added benefit—flavor! One can find apples to suit nearly every taste and cultural demand. Without any special care, apples grow where no roses dare. Hardy varieties like the Pippins, Pearmains, Snow, Lady and Northern Spy have been grown successfully in many different climates across the U.S. With 8,000-plus varieties worldwide and with new ones introduced annually, apple collectors in most climates are like kids in a candy store. New, Favorite and Powerhouse Apples New introductions such as Honeycrisp, Cameo and Pink Lady are adapted to a wide range of climates and are beginning to be planted in large quantities. The rich flavors of old favorites like Spitzenburg and Golden Russet Each one is a unique eating experience that are always a pleasant surprise for satisfies a modern taste—crunchy firmness, plenty inexperienced tasters. of sweetness and tantalizing flavor.

Factors' Influencing the Development of Soggy Break-Down in Apples ^
FACTORS' INFLUENCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOGGY BREAK-DOWN IN APPLES ^ By H. H. PLAGGE, research assistant professor, and T. J. MANEY, research professor and head, Subsection of Pomology, Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station INTRODUCTION The influence of storage temperature on soggy break-down ^ in certain apple varieties is generally recognized, but the relation of other etiologic factors to this disease is not so clearly understood. For example, it has been assumed that delayed storage is essential to the development of soggy break-down, and that late picking favors its occurrence. The effect of these and other causal agencies has not been demonstrated conclusively. Among other factors which have been considered as favorable or essential to the development of soggy break-down are inadequate ventilation of containers and storage rooms, a prolonged storage period, temperatures lower than 32° F., variations in fertilizer treatments, and climatic conditions. The effect of these and certain other factors on soggy break-down is con sidered in this paper. The importance of storage temperature in the control of soggy breakdown has been emphasized in earlier pubhcations {11, 16, 17)? This paper presents further evidence to show the relation of storage temperature to the disease in the varieties that were previously listed as susceptible and in other varieties for which little or no information is on record. The relative importance of other storage and prestorage factors as judged by the results of more than 11 years' work is indicated. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Investigators have emphasized the importance of immediate storage in the control of the soft scald type of soggy break-down in the Jonathan apple (Í, S, 6, 18y 19).

INF03 Reduce Lists of Apple Varieites
ECE/TRADE/C/WP.7/GE.1/2009/INF.3 Specialized Section on Standardization of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Fifty-fifth session Geneva, 4 - 8 May 2009 Items 4(a) of the provisional agenda REVISION OF UNECE STANDARDS Proposals on the list of apple varieties This note has been put together by the secretariat following the decision taken by the Specialized Section at its fifty-fourth session to collect information from countries on varieties that are important in international trade. Replies have been received from the following countries: Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. This note also includes the documents compiled for the same purpose and submitted to the fifty-second session of the Specialized Section. I. Documents submitted to the 52nd session of the Specialized Section A. UNECE Standard for Apples – List of Varieties At the last meeting the 51 st session of the Specialized Section GE.1 the delegation of the United Kingdom offered to coordinate efforts to simplify the list of apple varieties. The aim was to see what the result would be if we only include the most important varieties that are produced and traded. The list is designed to help distinguish apple varieties by colour groups, size and russeting it is not exhaustive, non-listed varieties can still be marketed. The idea should not be to list every variety grown in every country. The UK asked for views on what were considered to be the most important top thirty varieties. Eight countries sent their views, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, USA, Slovakia, Germany Finland and the Czech Republic.
