Phenotypic Diversity of Apple (Malus sp.) Germplasm in South Serbia
To determine the overall degree of polymorphism, detect similarities among the accessions and collect highly valued genotypes of native apples, 21 characters of 18 autochthonous apple cultivars were studied for three years. Particular individual accessions were selected from the south region of Serb...
