Primitive Genepools of Asian Pears and Their Complex Hybrid Origins Inferred from Fluorescent Sequence-Specific Amplification Polymorphism (SSAP) Markers Based on LTR Retrotransposons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 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 ...

ASIAN PEAR BREEDING FOR SUBTROPICAL AREAS OF BRAZIL [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2010 Crosses among Asian (P. pyrifolia (Burm.f.) Nakai) and European (P. communis L.) pear cultivars were made from 1992 to 1998 aiming to find new pear types for subtropical areas of Brazil. The first interspecific hybrids of IAC pear breeding program were planted in various regions of Sao Paulo State, at latitudes from 21°11'S to 24°11's and 11 to 200 ...
