Abstract

The Pillnitz apple rootstock breeding program was concluded with the following results:

Three dwarfing rootstocks were submitted for breeder’s rights

– Pillnitzer ‘Supporter 1’® :	M.9 x M. baccata (L.)	BORKH.
– Pillnitzer ‘Supporter 2’® :	M.9 x M. X micromalus	MAKINO
– Pillnitzer ‘Supporter 3’® :	M.9 x M. X micromalus	MAKINO

Four semi dwarfing rootstocks were prepared for application for breeder’s rights:

– Pi-AU 36–2: M.9 x (M.9 x M. baccata (L.) BORKH.)

– Pi-AU 51–4: M.4 open pollinated

– Pi-AU 51–11: M.4 open pollinated

– Pi-AU 56–83: M.11 open pollinated.
The rootstock Pillnitzer ‘Supporter 4’® (‘Pi 80’) formerly bred at Pillnitz is presently being multiplied in commercial nurseries.
Numerous improved screening methods were integrated into the breeding process.
