澳大利亚昆士兰州政府的有关专家在过去20年的研究基础上于近日研制出了一个能够保鲜数月、并且还能防虫害的苹果品种，该品种有望于明年上市销售。据研究专家介绍，代号为RS103-130的这个苹果品种置于果盘中可以“保脆”14天；如果放进冰箱保存的话，则可以“保鲜数月”。此外，该品种还具有防虫害的特质，是目前唯一一种可以抵抗苹果黑星病的品种。仅澳大利亚的苹果行业每年用于防治苹果黑星病的资金就超过1000万美元，因此，这样的品种肯定会受到果农的热烈欢迎。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ 5=oP6K9&S,U62 T zFroG]

Researchers have spent the last 20 years developing the fruit, which they have now dubbed "the world's best apple."[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ /NUJDe5I"?NZ9hn?cFroG]
The apple – at this stage known as RS103-130 – stays "crispy" for 14 days in a fruit bowl, but if kept in a fridge will remain fresh for "months on end".[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ XIw!F$v3M"a= FroG]
Its longevity is also obtained without genetic modification – its disease-resistant properties come from a gene found in the Asiatic apple malus floribunda.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ |5 m?n~+o^3A5$jvqFroG]
The apple has been created by Queensland government experts in Australia.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ N~qM3Mn2 PmEGX==N FroG]
Tim Mulherin, Primary Industries Minister, said the state government was looking for a commercial supply partner to put the new apple on the market as early as next year.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ NXWd6tk!l H JhtNFroG]
"The beauty of this fruit is that you can buy it and stick it in a fruit bowl and it will maintain its firmness, texture and crispness for up to 14 days," he said.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ "t-/z 7i f0Dj'_{FroG]
"Another advantage is that if it goes into longer term storage, it will retain its freshness for months on end.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ \F[X4sXY]BK?e�cFroG]
"This new variety is sweet. It ticks the other boxes too because it is disease resistant, so requires few or no fungicides.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ yqqrG73XYfLN 8{kkAFroG]
"Initial taste tests have been outstanding. Out of the five apple types tasted, the new variety scored the highest – even better than the Pink Lady which is very popular in Britain."[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ @v-Q7�==6 ! v2dFroG]
Scientist Dr Simon Middleton has been working with apples at the Applethorpe Research Station since 1980 and said he was impressed by RS103-130.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ 6I:? M[&uVC`5FzFroG]
"This variety is unique in that it is naturally resistant to apple scab, also called black spot, a disease that costs the apple industry £6m (more than $10m) a year in Australia alone," he said.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ XInN cZRGl.,Xya$b-tFroG]
"There is a huge demand from growers to find a disease-resistant variety that requires few or no fungicides."[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ ~;S=*y;_L/a.;r oFroG]
