Abstract
Apple shape is an important component of the visual fruit quality and can be influenced by several factors.
The relationship between the fruiting structures and bud size in the fruit shape (length/diameter ratio) were evaluated in three different cultivars: Gala, Fuji and Daiane. The length/diameter ratio showed no statistical differences for Fuji and Gala. However, fruits of Daiane showed differences in the L/D ratio related to the size of the twigs, but not for bud size.
Fruits from long twigs presented the highest L/D ratio. Fuji produced the more flattened fruits and Daiane the more elongated ones.
