Intravarietal polyploidy in the apple (Malus pumila MILL.) cultivar Hazratbali

A triploid cytotype of cv. Hazratbali (Malus pumila Mill.), was found growing in orchards of diploid trees. Morphological comparisons between the two cytotypes reveal that the triploid is more vigorous, and bears more attractive furit. The meiotic behavior of the two cytotypes has been described. Th...

Description
Summary:A triploid cytotype of cv. Hazratbali (Malus pumila Mill.), was found growing in orchards of diploid trees. Morphological comparisons between the two cytotypes reveal that the triploid is more vigorous, and bears more attractive furit. The meiotic behavior of the two cytotypes has been described. The impact of polyploidy on quality characteristics of apple at the intravarietal level is analysed. The possible mode of origin of the triploid cytotype is discussed.
