noun
A species in the Maloideae subfamily, which includes apples and pears.
Assessing the evolutionary impact of the versatile breeding behavior of maloids also requires not only more robust measures of its frequency in natural populations but also much further study of the cellular mechanisms of apomixis, and its association with polyploidy, self-compatibility, and hybridization.
adj
Relating to the Maloideae subfamily.
Other maloid genera with hard nutlets are Cotoneaster, Hesperomeles, Osteomeles, and Pyracantba, but each of these is quite different from Mespilus and Crataegus.
