Morphological markers for disease resistance in apple breeding

I have started a small breeding program for apple resistance to diseases. Does anybody know of useful papers or have information about morphological markers useful for early selection of seedlings for fruit quality?

    Thank you very much, dear colleagues for the help. I dont have much experience with breeding, so any practical information is of great use for me.

    Dear Tomislav, i work with maize and chili pepper drought and disease resistance, perhaps the researchers at Washington -usda-ARS would work with apple because there are a great acreage with apples...

    You can refer to morphological markers papers in mango and papaya, which were presented in the International symposiums, these have come in different volumes of Acta Horticulturae
