Will Red Apples Become Extinct?

Red or green and light yellow, striped apples can be found in the store. These are the hundreds of apples that started in what is now Kazakhstan. The mountains of this place draw the border of western China. The apple is stillborn in the place. People become food for animals. It makes the air fragrant. However, these wild apple trees have declined by 90 percent in the last 50 years.

According to scientists, some of the genes on the apple’s surface are mainly behind the red color of the apple. David C. is a geneticist at New Zealand’s Plant and Food Research. He said that many enzymes work together to change the color of an apple to red. This produces anthocyanins. Not just apples but red potatoes, grapes and palms – all of which have a substance behind them.

The amount of this enzyme determines the amount of a specific protein. Whose name is MYB10? To put it bluntly, if there is more than MYB 10 somewhere, the skin color of other fruits, including apples will become redder. Of course, temperature also plays a role in determining color in addition to all this.

Relation between temperature and decrease in reddish apple

Experts believe that the trend of keeping this color of apple ahead of other countries of the world is most seen in Asian markets. It may seem to you that the red apple will not be extinct anyway. But the matter is not so simple. Many things before have become extinct in the evolution of time. Let’s talk about this apple. As soon as you go to John Bunker, an apple farmer in Maine, you see a black apple. It’s basically a red apple. But that red is so intense that you may mistakenly think of it as a black palm fruit. John has been cultivating apples of this species out of his own interest. Otherwise, the fruits of some species, including apples, have already become extinct and people have unknowingly forgotten about them.

Maybe with a lot more effort and a breeding program, the birth of red apples can be kept alive even in high temperatures in the future. But why should people give birth to red apples by trying so hard to have green, yellow and other colored apples? For a time, the apple’s redness may be lost due to the ever-increasing temperature of the world.

According to John Bunker, the red color of the apple was once seen as a way to determine if it was ripe. But this is not always the case. In 1921, the apple called ‘Red Delicious’ was able to catch everyone’s eye and make it to the top of the list. Farmers used to work to produce different apples. Although there is a demand for apples in relatively developing and underdeveloped countries, at present the main work of apples in western countries is done after preparation. Sometimes apple cider, sometimes apple pie is his place. For which no one needs fresh apples and various flavors of apples. Supply is declining along with demand.

Of course, John Bunker is not the only one with apples, and many are quite luxurious. That’s why new apples are coming. There are Honeycrisps and many more mutations. But that red apple? Color increases the demand for the product. Red apples are no exception. As red is the color of danger, red apple is also unique in taste. This variety of apples attracts people. Even so, owning one is still beyond the average person’s reach. According to the NOAA 2019 World Climate Measurement, the temperature has risen by 0.08 degrees Celsius in every era since 180. This whole thing, of course, covers both the land and the sea.

Rising temperatures and pollution have been cited as the fifth leading cause of death. This is when certain ingredients and cool weather are needed to bring out apple skin’s overall condition and redness.
