Chile's apple industry has witnessed 'staggering' changes in its apple varieties over the last 20 years, according to Alejandro Navarro from nursery Viverosur. So it comes as no surprise that the industry is shifting once more to keep pace with market trends. Statistics from Chile's Office of Agriculture Studies and Policy (ODEPA) show the country exported US$539.8 million worth of fresh apples from January to August, with a strong focus on the the Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Crisp Pink and Granny Smith varieties. The situation wasn't always this way. Last week at networking event FRUITTRADE in Santiago, Navarro said SweeTango apples the industry has come changed significantly since the 90s when 70% of apple exports were Red Delicious and 30% were Granny Smith, and those shifting percentages will continue in times to come. "The future points to niche business run by trade groups who opt for greater control over the supply of these varieties, with the aim of controlling their trading lives over the medium term," he said. "The country must be willing to evaluate these changes and be part of these global changes." In this context, Navarro's nursery is introducing several new 'promising' apple varieties for cultivation in the country's south. In his opinion the 'SweeTango' (MN 1914) has the greatest potential, which is a cross between the Honeycrisp and Zestar varieties. He said the fruit is known for its bicolor skin, with Chile is also taking on the Evelina apple variey a size of between 70-80mm, a crispy texture like the Honeycrisp but with a more intense flavor. In Chile the variety will be handled under a club format with exporters Copefrut, Unifrutti, Frusan, Lafrut and San Clemente now in the testing stages. Navarro pointed out the Evelina variety was also in a trial stage in Chile with exporters such as Frusan, Dole, Unifrutti and Lafrut. The variety is a mutation of the Pinova apple and has a red-orange color. Some of the Evelina's main features are its flavor and texture, along with a low FreshFruitPortal.com susceptibility to fungal disease. According to ODEPA statistics, Royal Gala is by far Chile's leading variety with 46% of exports, followed by Granny Smith (12%), Fuji (11%) and Richard Delicious (11%).

ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

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.

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.

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’.
