Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study uses molecular marker data from the apple cultivar collection of the German Fruit Genebank (GFG) to test the genetic coherence of the literature-defined ‘Brünnerling’ group and to resolve mislabelling and relationships through kinship/parentage and genetic distance analyses. RESULTS: Parentage and genetic distance-based analyses showed that ‘Brünnerling’ cultivars can be distinguished on the...
