About the book
Cultivated apple (Malus x Domestica Borkh.) is one of the most important fruit crops grown in temperate zones and the most important in the Rosaceae family. Apple is grown mainly in temperate climates, however, it is also grown under subtropical conditions with low chilling apple cultivars.
The book “Apple Cultivation-Recent Advances” will contain privileged three chapters on breeding, germplasm, fruit tree physiology, propagation, pruning, production, and nutritional studies of Malus species, written by authors from different parts of the world. Malus Domestica is one of the most important fruit species widely spread both in the various climatic and soil conditions. This wide adaptability of the Malus species allows it to be grown in many parts of the world. Despite high genetic variability, thousands of cultivars are distributed throughout the world.
Briefly, the book Apple Cultivation-Recent Advances will contain three sections; “Apple germplasm, molecular characterization and Breeding Studies”, “Physiological and nutritional studies, pruning, training of apple tree”, and "Cultivars, rootstocks, propagation, and nursery plants".
