Malus sieversii in harsh climates unsuitable for "M. pumila", mainly for increased cold tolerance. "Malus sieversii" has recently been cultivated by the United States Agricultural Research Service, in hopes of finding genetic information of value in the breeding of the modern apple plant. Some, but not all, of the resulting trees show unusual disease resistance. The variation in their response to disease on an individual basis is, itself, a sign of how much more genetically diverse they are than their domesticated descendants. Malus sieversii Malus sieversii is a wild apple native to the mountains of Central Asia in southern Kazakhstan. It has
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"
