Origin of apple cultivars

Malus Mill.

The origin of an apple cultivar represents the genetic history of the variety, determining its vegetative progeny, adaptability, and economic traits. It is a qualitative characteristic that records the methods used to obtain the clone and the parental forms in breeding documentation.

In the reference 75 varieties crop Apple, where this is mentioned in the description.

For apple trees, the concept of origin is closely linked to the vegetative method of propagation. Since a cultivar is a clone genetically identical to the original plant, any attempt at seed propagation leads to the loss of varietal characteristics due to cross-pollination and significant segregation of genetic material.

In an agronomic sense, the origin of a cultivar determines its biological potential: resistance to diseases, for example, the presence of the Rvi6 gene for protection against scab, growth vigor, fruiting times, and the requirement for pollinator varieties. These genealogical data are essential for maintaining clone purity and for proper regional zoning of plantings.
