Abstract
Thirteen samples of related wild apples distributed in the region of Yili and adjacent areas of China were collected, and genetic fragment analysis using 12 microsatellite molecular genetic markers (SSRs) as proposed by ECPGR was carried out with a CEQ 8000 sequencer at the Kompetenzzentrum Obstbau-Bodensee (KOB) research station in Germany.
The results were examined with the parentage analysis software CERVUS. The probable parentages obtained from the 13 samples showed that the oldest known wild apple tree, more than 600 years old, could not be associated with the distribution of apple trees growing in the region of Yili and adjacent areas.
