| Abstract | ||||
| Fruit shape of studied apple cultivars was influenced by the type of the parent pollen. When Anna was crossed by Dorsett Golden, the obtained fruits were round and flat, but when Ein-Shemer was used as a pollinizer round elongate fruits were obtained. Open pollination resulted in the best fruit colour. When both "Dorsett Golden" or Ein-Shemer were pollinated with Anna reddish parts were noticed on the fruit skin, complete seed, fruit firmness, fruit texture, total soluble solids and acidity were determined under types of pollination. Improvement in fruit guality is associated with number of Viable seeds per fruits. | ||||
