#145 Apple breeding part 5 of 10 - The seeds of breeding

Posted by Markus Kobelt | 2011-12-06

We made a short documentary about the whole process of breeding a new apple variety, splitted in 10 video parts.

Part Five:
After pollinating the mother tree with the pollen of the father tree, the breeder is not looking forward to the apples, he / she is keen on the seeds. The seeds contain the new genetic material, new varieties.
