These oils, characterized by high ratios of PUFAs/SFAs, with an extremely significant high value (p < 0.05) for cultivar C2 (6.25), are susceptible to oxidative damage due to their high α-linolenic acid content 28-333%).
The total percentage of heterozygous Malus SNPs (36%) was within the TSNP value range reported for the transferability of 'Golden Delicious' SNPs to rootstock varieties [ 5], indicating that previously reported TSNP values for Malus cultivars should be broadly applicable to the number of SNPs expected to segregate in a given Malus genotype on the IRSC array.
The markers show high PIC values and therefore will be useful for cultivar identification, taxonomic studies, and genetic mapping.
During fruit growth, the value of estimated ΔGATP was a lot more negative for cultivar PL than for the two other cultivars, suggesting that the higher concentrations of malate in the fruits of cultivar PL could be the result of higher proton pumping due to a higher energy of ATP hydrolysis.
Secondly, this study demonstrates the importance of accounting for cultivar variations in pollination service benefit when estimating economic value.
These loci will be useful for genetic study of androdioecious O. fragrans cultivars and for cultivar classification, particularly for cultivar groups Luteus and Aurantiacus.
Note: fruit colour for cultivar and flower colour for androphyte.
The funding, which according to one interviewee is approximately US$100,000/year, is used for value for cultivation and use (VCU) tests7 and registering cultivars.
The average PIC value for all SSR loci was 0.57 for four apple cultivars, and with a higher average PIC value of 0.66 for the four wild apple species.
It is difficult to ascribe to any single crop a value for insect pollination dependence, because of the extreme variation between cultivars in any given crop, and because the pollination dependence of most commercial cultivars is not well known [43].
