Summary
Fruit quality was gradually improved in apples derived from mildew resistant species. Three hybrid generations were raised from a Malus robusta hybrid since 1977. The 4th generation from a M. zumi derivative is now in the greenhouse. The 1993 seed year generation is segregating for mildew, scab and Nectria canker resistance from parents combining good fruit quality with resistances.
