Genomic Approaches to Improve Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Apple (Malus ×  domestica)

The Impact of Abiotic and Biotic Factors on the Productivity of the Apple Cultivars (<i>Malus domestica</i>)

“…apple fruit development productivity and quality. There are certain mechanisms behind the stress tolerance caused by these environmental factors [1]. The apple genetic resources available can be exploited to breed varieties resistant against diverse abiotic stresses, which can help expand the cultivation area of the apples [1,2].…”

“…There are certain mechanisms behind the stress tolerance caused by these environmental factors [1]. The apple genetic resources available can be exploited to breed varieties resistant against diverse abiotic stresses, which can help expand the cultivation area of the apples [1,2]. In addition to factors that farmers can control to some extent, such as soil moisture or structure, according to [3] among all climatic factors, the temperature seems to be the most important factor in the apple crop productivity.…”
