主持人: 苹果作为世界上最受欢迎的水果之一,其独特之处在于拥有数千个不同的品种。这些品种的起源可以追溯到中亚的Malus sieversii,并通过丝绸之路传播到世界各地。苹果的驯化历史悠久,在古代神话和文化中扮演着重要角色,例如希腊神话中的金苹果和北欧神话中保持青春的苹果。罗马人在苹果种植方面做出了重要贡献,他们开发的嫁接技术使得特定品种的繁殖成为可能。苹果的极端杂合性导致了品种的多样性,但也需要通过嫁接来保持特定品种的特性。在中世纪,欧洲各地都种植苹果,并形成了各自独特的品种。苹果在17世纪传入北美,并被广泛用于制作苹果酒。约翰尼·苹果籽是苹果在美洲西进运动中的重要推广者,但他传播苹果树的目的是为了酿酒。禁酒运动导致许多苹果树被毁,只有少数高质量的品种得以保留。时至今日,苹果的商业生产规模巨大,中国是世界上最大的苹果生产国。由于储存和运输技术的进步,大多数苹果现在用于直接消费。总之,苹果是一种重要的作物,其起源于中亚的山区,并在世界各地留下了深刻的文化印记。 主持人: 作为节目的主持人,我希望通过这期节目,大家能够更深入地了解苹果这种水果背后的故事。从它的起源、传播,到它在不同文化中的象征意义,再到它在现代社会中的商业价值,苹果都展现出了其独特的魅力。我个人对苹果酒情有独钟,也希望未来有机会能专门做一期节目来介绍苹果酒的历史和文化。

Chapters
Apples, unlike most fruits, boast thousands of varieties due to their unique genetic makeup as extreme heterozygotes. This means seeds from one apple tree can produce vastly different fruits, making it easy to create new varieties but challenging to maintain desired traits. The only way to reproduce a specific apple type is through grafting.
  • Thousands of apple varieties exist.
  • Apples are extreme heterozygotes.
  • Maintaining specific apple types requires grafting.

Shownotes Transcript

One of the most popular fruits in the world are apples. 

Apples are associated with the Garden of Eden, pleasing your teacher, and the story of Snow White. They play a role in Greek and Norse mythology, and they have lent their name to famous record and computer companies.

However, apples are unlike almost every other fruit in that there are thousands of different varieties. The reason why there are so many different varieties is because of the uniqueness of the plant.

Learn more about apples, where they came from, and how they have been used in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
