Abstract

Abstract:

Being a kind of important cash crop，apple industry in China has stably grown as the biggest country in the world，while China also has become a state-art country in apple research worldwide. On basis of stating on both research progresses of germplasm resources，cultivar breeding，seedling nursery，tree growth and fruit quality development，stress resistances，diseases and pests control，post-harvest storage and processing，orchard management，industry beneficiary，and industry status of production scale，industry regionalization，farming system，quality improvement，mechanization and simplified management，brand and circulation，diseases and pests control，post-harvest storage and processing，and disaster prevention and mitigation，the major problems are focused presently in research and industry. Leading by both the industry development needs and technical innovation，this article try to review development direction of apple future research and also the industry development trends with future prospects，for possible reference of apple innovation research and sustainably high quality industry development.

Key words: apple, research progress?, industry status, problem analysis, development trends, improving quality and efficiency
