Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Apple is one of the most commonly planted fruit species in the world and is consumed in many forms. Growers of this long-lived perennial must produce fruit of high yield and adequate quality while also combatting abiotic and biotic stress. These characters are very important for the development of the apple industry. The goal of many apple cultivation and breeding programs is to combine high yield and fruit quality with disease resistance.
The purpose of this Special Issue “Advanced Studies in Cultivation and Breeding of Apple” is to present innovative articles on the cultivation and breeding of apples from international researchers.
