Genetic and physical characterisation of the locus controlling columnar habit in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.)

2013-02-01

Abstract excerpt

A better understanding of the genetic control of tree architecture would potentially allow improved tailoring of newly bred apple cultivars in terms of field management aspects, such as planting density, pruning, pest control and disease protection. It would also have an indirect impact on yield and fruit quality. The Columnar (Co) locus strongly suppresses lateral branch elongation and is the most important genet...
