Summary
This apple breeding programme started in 1991. It is based partly on earlier results in our department and partly on the breeding methods and results of apple breeders in USA, Canada, France and Germany. Our scientific programme consists of three parts: 1) hybridization; 2) testing Malus species as sources of breeding; 3) testing new resistant cultivars origining from France, Germany, USA and Canada. The aim of the crossing programme is to associate good quality, high yield, suitability for Hungarian ecological conditions, good tree shape and suitable maturing time with resistance to scab, powdery mildew, canker and tolerance to aphid and storage damages. This paper deals with hybridization and shows information about the breeding scheme, the parents used and the first results of segregation for scab resistance. The effect of the genes V f and V m can be compared.
