A high-quality haplotype-resolved genome of Pyrus calleryana provides insights into adaptive gene families. [PDF]
Abstract Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is a deciduous species native to East Asia with notable ornamental and ecological value, but the genomic resources for this species remain limited. Here, we report the first haplotype‐resolved, chromosome‐scale genome of P. calleryana.

272 Chemical-thinning Asian Pears [PDF]
Asian pears bloom profusely and require early hand-thinning to produce large saleable fruit. In 1998, `Shinko' and `Hosui' trees were sprayed with Accel, Ethrel, NAA or carbaryl when average fruit diameter was ≈9 mm. Superior oil was added to all treatments at the rate of 2.5 mL/L.

Primitive Genepools of Asian Pears and Their Complex Hybrid Origins Inferred from Fluorescent Sequence-Specific Amplification Polymorphism (SSAP) Markers Based on LTR Retrotransposons. [PDF]
Recent evidence indicated that interspecific hybridization was the major mode of evolution in Pyrus. The genetic relationships and origins of the Asian pear are still unclear because of frequent hybrid events, fast radial evolution, and lack of ...

Pathogenicity of Stemphylium vesicarium from different hosts causing brown spot in pear [PDF]
Stemphylium vesicarium (teleomorph: Pleospora herbarum) is the causal agent of brown spot disease in pear. The species is also able to cause disease in asparagus, onion and other crops. Saprophytic growth of the fungus on plant debris is common.

Whole Genome Enabled Phylogenetic and Secretome Analyses of Two Venturia nashicola Isolates
Venturia nashicola is a fungal pathogen causing scab disease in Asian pears. It is particularly important in the Northeast Asia region where Asian pears are intensively grown. Venturia nashicola causes disease in Asian pear but not in European pear.
