Malus sieversii has previously been identified as the main contributor to the genome of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica), on the basis of morphological, molecular, and historical evidence. [10] Fruit traits including crispness, more flavour intensity and fruit weight have undergone differential selection by humans to produce Malus ...
An apple is a round, edible fruit produced by an apple tree (Malus spp., among them the domestic or orchard apple; Malus domestica). Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found.
Johann August Carl Sievers (1762–1795) was a Holy Roman Empire-born botanist who explored Central Asia, Siberia, and other Asian regions of the Russian Empire.Among the species first described by Sievers is Malus sieversii, the ancestor of the domesticated apple.
Malus (/ ˈ m eɪ l ə s / [3] or / ˈ m æ l ə s /) is a genus of about 32–57 species [4] of small deciduous trees or shrubs in the family Rosaceae, including the domesticated orchard apple, crab apples (sometimes known in North America as crabapples) and wild apples.
Wolf River is an American cultivar of domesticated apple, which originates from the shores of the Wolf River of Wisconsin, in the United States of America, known since 1875. [1]
New species he described for the first time in the Flora Altaica include Malus sieversii (as Pyrus sieversii), the wild ancestor of the apple, and the Siberian Larch (Larix sibirica). The plant genera Ledebouria (in the Asparagus family, Asparagaceae), [2] and Ledebouriella (from the family Apiaceae) are named in his honor. [1] [3]
The genome sequence also provided proof that Malus sieversii was the wild ancestor of the domestic apple—an issue that had been long-debated in the scientific community. In 2016 a new and much higher quality whole genome sequence (WGS) for a double-haploid derivative of the Golden Delicious variety of apple was published. [ 2 ]
The Kanzi is the trademark name [1] of the Nicoter, [2] a modern-bred cultivar of the domesticated apple, which was developed in Belgium by Better3Fruits and Greenstar Kanzi Europe (GKE), [3] from a natural cross between a Gala apple and a Braeburn apple. [4]
