1) Continue to apply the tested ethylene molecular markers for ACS1 and AC01 in segregation populations in the WSU Apple Breeding Program to select for low ethylene production. 2) Test and apply a reported apple fruit peel red color marker in the existing WSU segregation population for selection of red color development capacity. 3) Identify potential candidage genes regulating apple firmness and crispness. 4) Elucidate relationships between expression of apple AAT (alcohol acyl transferase) genes and cultivar differences in volatile ester production.
