Distributions of and correlations among fruit-related traits. (A) Example hybrids of ‘Fuji’ and ‘Cripp's Pink’. (B) The number of F₁ hybrids of ‘Fuji’ and ‘Cripp's Pink’ for three consecutive years (from 2018 to 2020). (C, D) Distribution of HD and FF traits in 2018–2020. (E–G) Distributions of flesh texture type, flesh thickness, and flesh firmness grade traits in 2019 and 2020. H, M, and L indicate that the flesh thickness was high, moderate, and low, respectively. A scale of 1 to 5 was used to evaluate FF, with 1 being soft and 5 being firm. (H) Heat maps of the correlation analysis among six traits and years.
