The aim of the research was to determine selected biochemical and physical characteristics yielding fruits in apple varieties (Malus domestica Borkh) such as Gala Schniga, Beni Shogun (Fuji) Ligol, M.9 rootstock growing Wielkopolska region, Poland. high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed differences both profile contents soluble sugars other metabolites detected tested varieties. highest total saccharide content found cv. while leaves shoots this variety showed lowest contents. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy semiquinone radicals trees. All organs Schniga trees were characterized by levels these radicals. Besides, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) abscisic acid (ABA) molecule trees, especially variety, lowest. Ligol had ABA. percentage injury observed after a low-temperature treatment estimated on basis electrolyte leakage, shown be variety. In turn, average yield recorded for Fuji varieties, with case At same time, significant variability weight observed; mass it Schniga. Additionally, firmness evaluation that firmest harvested from before A red blush fruit surfaces having weakest blush. Altogether, results indicate analyzed differed terms their composition characteristics.
