  • Stemilt Awarded License to New University of Minnesota Apple Cultivar
    - Advertisement - Stemilt awarded license to new University of Minnesota apple cultivar September 8, 2014 The University of Minnesota has awarded Stemilt Growers the license to grow, pack, and market a new, early-to-ripen apple cultivar. The patent name for the cultivar is MN55, and the University of Minnesota plans to trademark a name for the fruit in conjunction with Stemilt in the near future. MN55 was born 17 years ago at the University of Minnesota's apple-breeding program, the same place that the now national phenomenon Honeycrisp heralds from. MN55, a new early-to-ripen apple. The new cultivar has 1 / 3 exceptional flavors, color, and fracture and will be the first variety to harvest in Washington state and go to market come 2017. MN55 is a cross between Honeycrisp and an unreleased variety labeled as AA44 that is sometimes known as MonArk. With similar yet more defined flavor and quality attributes as Honeycrisp and AA44's characteristics to ripen early yet color well and maintain a crisp, juicy texture through the summer heat, Stemilt believes the new cultivar is a winner. "We have a small block of trees that will produce small volumes of fruit come 2017, and a larger planting that will increase volumes for 2018 and beyond," Stemilt Marketing Director Roger Pepperl said in a press release. "We are thrilled at the prospect of having a high dessert-quality apple that will reinvent the month of August for the apple category. MN55 is very juicy and sweet and holds excellent pressures. These are unusual qualities for such an early apple to possess, and the exact qualities that consumers have come to love in an apple." The journey to develop a new apple cultivar is not a quick process and requires great efforts.

  • Factors Associated with Spartan Breakdown of Apple
    FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SPARTAN BREAKDOWN OF APPLE by Raymond Laurent Granger A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research of McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Plant Science, Macdonald College of McGill University, c Montreal• March, 1979 iii - • I dedicate this thesis to my wife UIREILLE ABSTRACT FACTORS ASSOCIATED HITH SPARTAN BREAKDOWN OF APPLE DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCE RAYMOND LAURENT GRANGER Quebec-grown Spartan apples were compared with those from British Columbia in an effort to explain why B.C. fruits are more susceptible to the Spartan breakdown storage disorder. Based on fruit diameter apples were sized into small, medium and lar~e categories from Quebec and medium, large and extra large from British Columbia. Peel and flesh tissues of individual apples from each category were analysed for total N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Zn. Firmness, percent red colour, specific gravity, moisture content, titrateable acidity and percent soluble solids along with and release rates also were determined on co2 c2n4 individual fruits in every category. Large fruit size, decreasin~ firmness and high or H release co2 c2 4 rates expressed on a fruit basis were associated with Spartan breakdown development in cold storage. The predictive values of the various mineral analyses for Spartan breakdown were in the following order: peel Mg > flesh K > flesh P > flesh Mg > flesh Ca > peel K > peel Ca. The British Columbia apples contained significantly higher levels of all elements except those of N and Ca which were not significantly different in the fruit from both pr.ovinces.

Elucidate roles for previously identified candidate genes in ethylene, auxin, gibberellin, jasmonate and brassinosteroid metabolism and response during apple fruit ripening. 2. Characterize the relationship between gene expression patterns and specific fruit ripening phenotypes (ripening season, fruit size, fruit texture) in a cross population of ‘Honeycrisp’ x ‘Cripps Pink’, as well as other germplasm. 3. Develop a shortlist of candidate genes for hormone metabolism for further validation for use in marker assisted selection. SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS 1. Most of the selected genes, based on the results from previous microarray or gene chip analysis, showed correlations with apple fruit ripening processes among a wide spectrum of apple germplasm including several commercial cultivars and a segregating population of ‘Honeycrisp’ x ‘Cripps Pink’.

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.

    Best Fruits for Western Washington Yards City Fruit provides info about You’ll have good luck growing healthy fruit in Western fruit trees at www.cityfruit.org Washington if you consider the following before you decide and has trained volunteers what to plant: who are willing to help with residential fruit trees. Size: How much room do you have? How big will the tree get—and will it fit Contact [email protected] into your space when it’s mature? Will you be able to reach the fruit? The fruit tree’s ultimate size depends on its rootstock and the tree’s natural Shiro Plums vigor. Tip-bearing fruits—like plums and cherries—are more vigorous than spur-bearing fruits, like apples, and thus need more room. Rootstock: The rootstock influences how large the tree will grow. Many different rootstocks are available for apples—fewer choices for other fruits. Certain apple rootstocks (M9, B9, Geneva 11) produce fully dwarfed trees, that is, less than 10 ft. Trees on “semi-dwarf” rootstocks can grow to 15’ or taller. Sun and heat requirements: Most fruits need a minimum of six hours of sunshine per day. If you only have a shady place, consider elderberry, evergreen huckleberry, alpine strawberry and some other berries that can thrive in low- or partial-light conditions. Victoria Plums Although we have mild winters in Western Washington, we also have a very short growing season. Choose fruits that ripen earlier rather than later and think twice about fruits that need plenty of heat (peaches, apricots, grapes and figs).
