In this paper, the microsatellite (SSR) loci analysis was used to study apple genotypes with different levels of ploidy. A total of 47 samples were studied (9 diploids, 21 triploids, and 17 tetraploids) for seven microsatellite loci (GD147, Hi02C07, CH02c11, CH04c07, CH03d07, CH02c09, and GD12). It was possible to refine the pedigrees for some form...

... Although a high prevalence exists of triploid apple cultivars, proving their benefits (Einset, 1944), the formation of a higher ploidy in apple as in many other plant species is limited (Ramsey and Schemske, 1998). The use of tetraploid genotypes is very rare and predominantly aimed at the creation of new triploid varieties (Sedysheva and Gorbacheva, 2013;Sedov et al., 2014). Because the effective use of irrigation is crucial for reliable production of high quality fruit, especially in semi-arid regions (Naor et al., 2008), use of polyploidization to increase tolerance to water deficit in apple could lower irrigation demands and is thus a promising and useful research topic. ...
... In the Central Chernozem District, resistance against fungal diseases is found in the following: Sinap Orlovskij (slightly affected by scab; resistant against M. fructigena; responds to M. cinerea infestation by loss of flowers, with fruits remaining unaffected; shows tolerance to black and European canker), Afrodita, Bolotovskoe, Ven'yaminovskoe, Imrus, Kandil' Orlovskij, Orlovskoe Poles'e, Svezhest', Solnyshko, Stroevskoe, and Yubilej Moskvy (combine resistance to fruit rot with immunity to scab (Vf resistance gene)) [65,66]. ...
... Triploid cultivars are generally thought to be produced via unreduced gametes in diploid  diploid crosses (Brownfield & Köhler, 2011;Considine et al., 2012), though they can also be produced via crosses between tetraploids and diploids (Bergström, 1938;Einset, 1945;Lespinasse et al., 1976;Sedov et al., 2014). Unreduced gametes have been reported to come from either the mother (Ordidge et al., 2018;Pikunova et al., 2018) or the father (Zhang et al., 1988) and as being produced either only in FDR (Considine et al., 2012) or in both FDR and SDR (Zhang et al., 1988). ...
... As for reproduction, triploids are not able to self-pollinate, and a high percentage of the triploid pollen is sterile (He et al. 2018). Triploid apple tree varieties typically have larger fruit sizes and more vigorous growth in comparison with diploids (Nikolaevich et al. 2015;Sedov et al. 2017). Beyond the yield and growth parameters, there are also differences in leaf size, leaf colouring, and the size of stomata and guard cells (He et al. 2018;Makarenko 2021). ...
... Weeds in orchards, in addition to a direct negative impact on fruit trees (competition for water, nutrients) are also a source of the spread of diseases and pests (Rico et al., 2007;Popov and Rankova, 2009;Egorov et al., 2017;Sedov et al., 2017;Brühl and Zaller, 2021), therefore, the fight against weeds in horticultural farms is an urgent problem, ass the most common method of control are mechanized now, and in some cases, manual processing of plantings. A separate complex issue is posed by weed control in nurseries and schools of seedlings of fruit and berry crops. ...
... As a rule, triploid varieties have larger commercial fruits in comparison with diploid ones. In triploids, there is a manifestation of heterosis in relation to many traits [3,17,18]. Such triploid varieties as Rozhdestvenskoye, Vavilovskoye, Yablochny Spas, Yubilyar, Pamyat' Semakinu were created and zoned in VNIISPK [19]. ...

... Использование искусственного инфекционного фона для отбора устойчивых форм в гибридном материале позволяет интенсифицировать селекционный процесс. При этом информация о генетическом разнообразии патогена дает возможность формировать наиболее гетерогенный инокулюм, что повышает эффективность оценки на устойчивость (3). На ранних этапах изучения генетической изменчивости возбудителя использовались морфолого-культуральные характеристики и признаки вирулентности (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). ...

... Considerable interest among breeders in the world is the use of various representatives of the genus Malus Mill. to enhance a number of economic features of the apple tree, including such important commercial indicators of fruit quality as the duration of fruit storage, pulp density, etc. [1,2,3]. However, when creating commercially attractive varieties, large-fruited, with an intense bright uniform color, with a dessert taste and a long shelf life, it is worth recognizing the existing length of time, labor intensity and significant complexity of most stages of the traditional apple breeding process. ...
