Malus niedzwetzkyana Tajikistan borders, it is known as 'kisil alma': 'red apple'. "Malus niedzwetzkyana" has been used to breed some modern red-leaved, red-flowered, and red-fruited apples and crabapples. It is believed to be the ancestor of Surprise, a pink-fleshed apple that was brought to the United States by German immigrants around 1840 and was later used by the horticulturist Albert Etter to breed some 30 pink- and red-fleshed varieties, the best-known of which is Pink Pearl. Another horticulturist, Niels Ebbesen Hansen, encountered "M. niedzwetzkyana" in the Ili valley, where he also met Niedzwetzky, in what was then the Russian region of Turkestan
Genesee Scientific the world leader in innovation for and supply to the "Drosophila" (fruit fly) research community. "Drosophila" are widely used as a model organism in the field of genetics. Genesee Scientific has been awarded three patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its revolutionary "Drosophila" vial racking system (patent numbers D673,296 S; 8,136,679 B2; and 8,430,251 B2). This "Drosophila" vial racking system significantly decreases time spent racking vials and is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional vial packaging configurations. Genesee Scientific has also developed the first atlas of "Drosophila" phenotypic markers available on mobile devices. Genesee the "Drosophila"
