The genetic basis controlling firmness in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) remains to be fully elucidated. We aimed to decipher genetic variance for firmness at harvest and develop potential molecular markers for marker-assisted breeding. Maturity firmness for 439 F1 hybrids from a cross of "Cripps...
