Transcriptomics analysis of field-droughted pear (Pyrus spp.) reveals potential drought stress genes and metabolic pathways [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Drought acts as a major abiotic stress that hinders plant growth and crop productivity. It is critical, as such, to discern the molecular response of plants to drought in order to enhance agricultural yields under droughts as they occur with increasing ...

QTL Analysis and CAPS Marker Development Linked with Russet in Pear (Pyrus spp.). [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 The fruit skin types of pear (Pyrus spp.) are divided into russet, smooth, and intermediate. One of the important traits in pear breeding programs is russet on pear fruit skin because it affects the commercial value. In the present study, a high-density genetic linkage map of ‘Whangkeumbae’ (smooth) × ‘Minibae’ (russet) was constructed.

Analysis of the Fruit Quality of Pear (Pyrus spp.) Using Widely Targeted Metabolomics. [PDF]
Foods, 2022 Pear is a kind of common temperate fruit, whose metabolite composition that contributes to the difference in fruit quality is unclear. This study identified and quantified the metabolites using a widely targeted LC-MS/MS approach in three pear species, including Pyrus bretschneideri (PB), Pyrus usssuriensis (PU) and Pyrus pyrifolia (PP).
