Abstract
A triploid cytotype of cv. Hazratbali (Malus pumilaMill.), was found growing in orchards of diploid trees. Morphological comparisons between the two cytotypes reveal that the triploid is more vigorous, and bears more attractive fruit. The meiotic behaviour of the two cytotypes has been described. The impact of polyploidy on quality characteristics of apple at the intravarietal level is analysed. The possible mode of origin of the triploid cytotype is discussed.
