中文摘要：

新疆野苹果[Malus sieversii （Lebed.） Roem.]可能是栽培苹果（Malus domestica Borkh.）的祖先,主要分布在中亚地区的天山山脉,包括中国新疆伊犁的巩留、新源、霍城及裕民等,遗传多样性极为丰富。作者对新疆野苹果的发生、分类学地位、群体遗传结构、遗传多样性、生存现状及核心种质构建与新疆野苹果的保护保存等作一综述,旨在为新疆野苹果这一珍贵资源的科学保护与有效利用提供参考。

英文摘要：

Malus sieversii（Lebed.）Roem.,the main progenitor of domesticated apple（Malus domestica Borkh.）,is rich in genetic diversity.M.sieversii mainly distributed in Tianshan Mountains in Central Asia including Gongliu population,Xinyuan population,Huocheng population and Yumin population in China.The occurrence,taxonomic status,population genetic structure,genetic diversity and core collection construction of Malus sieversii were reviewed,in order to provide the reference for efficacious conservation and utilization of Malus sieversii.
