Domination and transgressions in apple breeding for increased contents of soluble dry substances and sugar in fruit

Resumo

Apple cultivars from the VNIISPK breeding program are characterized for sugar content in fruit. It is shown that many VNIISPK apple cultivars exceed widespread control cultivars in the studied trait. The results of studies for the development of apple cultivars with higher content of sugar in fruit are given. The features of domination and transgressions have been studied for the content of sugar and soluble dry substances in fruit of hybrid apple seedlings.
