Genome-wide association studies provide insights into the genetic determination of fruit traits of pear

Nature Communications, 2021
Studies of fruit quality traits in pears are lagging behind the other major fruit trees. Here, the authors conduct GWAS of fruit quality and phenological traits in a panel of 312 sand pear accessions using SNPs called from resequencing data, and reveal ...

Distribution of stone cell in Asian, Chinese, and European pear fruit and its morphological changes

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2013
This study was conducted to microscopically verify the distribution and morphological changes occurring in stone cells during fruit growth in order to determine physiological changes occurring in stone cells in pear fruits. European pear (P.

A Novel NAC Transcription Factor, PbeNAC1, of Pyrus betulifolia Confers Cold and Drought Tolerance via Interacting with PbeDREBs and Activating the Expression of Stress-Responsive Genes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factors are important regulator in abiotic stress and plant development. However, knowledge concerning the functions of plant NAC TFs functioning in stress tolerance and the underlying molecular basis are still ...

FDA regulations and prescription digital therapeutics: Evolving with the technologies they regulate

Frontiers in Digital Health, 2023
Technological progress in digital therapeutics—and, in particular prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs)—has outpaced the processes that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses to regulate such products. Digital therapeutics have entered the health

Comparative transcriptome analyses of fruit development among pears, peaches, and strawberries provide new insights into single sigmoid patterns

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Pear fruit exhibit a single sigmoid pattern during development, while peach and strawberry fruits exhibit a double sigmoid pattern. However, little is known about the differences between these two patterns. Results In this study, fruit weights

CAD Genes: Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution, and Their Contribution to Lignin Biosynthesis in Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri)

Plants, 2021
The synthetic enzyme cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) is involved in responses to various stresses during plant growth. It regulates the monolignol biosynthesis and catalyzes hydroxyl cinnamaldehyde reduction to the corresponding alcohols.

TGTT and AACA: two transcriptionally active LTR retrotransposon subfamilies with a specific LTR structure and horizontal transfer in four Rosaceae species

Mobile DNA, 2017
Background Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are major components of plant genomes. Common LTR-RTs contain the palindromic dinucleotide 5′-‘TG’–‘CA’-3′ motif at the ends.

The Alligator Pear [PDF]

Nature, 1920
THE important notice of Persea gratissima in NATURE of May 27 may be usefully supplemented from Madeira, where, during the last sixty years, from ten or a dozen examples, the tree has become familiar in every garden enclosure on the lower 500 ft. of our mountain-sides—cultivated for its attractive form and autumnal yield of valuable fruit.

Comparison of multiple algorithms to reliably detect structural variants in pears

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Structural variations (SVs) have been reported to play an important role in genetic diversity and trait regulation. Many computer algorithms detecting SVs have recently been developed, but the use of multiple algorithms to detect high ...
