Identification of S-genotypes and a novel S-RNase in 84 native Chinese pear accessions
Horticultural Plant Journal, 2022 The Chinese pear (Pyrus spp.) exhibits typical gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI), which inhibits self-crossing and promotes out-crossing, similar to other fruit species in the Rosaceae family.

The mining and evolutionary investigation of AP2/ERF genes in pear (Pyrus)
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background In plants, ERF genes participate in a variety of regulatory pathways, such as plant growth and biotic and/or abiotic stress responses. Although the genome of Chinese white pear (‘Dangshansuli’) has been released, knowledge regarding the ERF ...

India's exports performance in poultry products and the potential exports destinations
Agricultural Economics (AGRICECON), 2013 The study analyzes the trends in the Indian poultry products' exports during the pre- and the post-WTO periods using the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filtered data. The Simpson Diversity Index (SDI) was used to measure the export diversity, whereas the Revealed

Identification of a Simple Sequence Repeat molecular-marker set for large-scale analyses of pear germplasm [PDF]
, 2012 Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) are molecular markers suitable to assess the genetic variation of germplasm resources; however, large-scale SSR use requires protocol optimization. The present work aimed to identify SSR markers, developed for pear and other

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...

Gene duplication and evolution in recurring polyploidization–diploidization cycles in plants
Genome Biology, 2019 Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa, and unravel common principles underlying duplicate gene retention. Results We

Strategies to control tree vigour and optimise fruit production in 'Conference' pears [PDF]
, 2008 The ban on the use of chlormequat (CCC) in pear orchards in 2001 forced Dutch pear growers to look for alternative methods to control tree vigour and stimulate flower bud development and fruit production.
