Fruit Quality Assessment in Apple Genotypes Obtained by Crossing

38672

In this study, fruit quality attributes were evaluated in hybrid populations of apple breeding program conducted at Eğirdir Fruit Research Station. Consumer properties such as appearance and eating quality were considered, and fruit quality was determined by sensory analysis by expert panelists. The five genotypes (‘91’, ‘109’, ‘177’, ‘63’, ‘120’) (‘Kaşel 37’ x ‘Delbarestivale’) were superior than both parents and ‘Amasya’ apples taken as a reference in multiple comparison test performed based on principal component groups in factor analysis. However, The type ‘368’ (‘Kaşel 41’ X ‘Williams Pride’) took place among selected type due to it can be evaluated regionally because of early maturation, and the eating quality is much higher than maturing varieties in that period despite the fact that relatively lower scores. The first stage of selection of genotypes was completed with the essay, and 6 types (‘91’, ‘109’, ‘177’, ‘63’, ‘120’ and ‘368’) among 70 genotypes have been found to be much superior in terms of both appearance and others eating quality criteria.
