Successful intergeneric transfer of a major apple scab resistance gene (Rvi6) from apple to pear and precise comparison of the downstream molecular mechanisms of this resistance in both species
Scab is the most important fungal disease of apple and pear. Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) and European pear (Pyrus communis L.) are genetically related but they are hosts of two different fungal species: Vent... (Source: BMC Genomics)

A systems genetics approach reveals PbrNSC as a regulator of lignin and cellulose biosynthesis in stone cells of pear fruit
Stone cells in fruits of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) negatively influence fruit quality because their lignified cell walls impart a coarse and granular texture to the fruit flesh. (Source: Genome Biology)

Genome-wide Identification and Evolution of the PP2C Gene Family in Eight Rosaceae Species and Expression Analysis Under Stress in Pyrus bretschneideri
Type 2C protein phosphatase (PP2C) plays an essential role in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling transduction processes. In the current study, we identify 719 putative PP2C genes in eight Rosaceae species, including 118 in Chinese white pear, 110 in European pear, 73 in Japanese apricot, 128 in apple, 74 in peach, 65 in strawberry, 78 in sweet cherry, and 73 in black raspberry. Further, the phylogenetic analysis categorized PbrPP2C genes of Chinese white pear into twelve subgroups based on the phylogenic analysis. We observed that whole-genome duplication (WGD) and dispersed gene duplication (DSD) have expanded the Rosaceae PP2...

PbrRALF2-elicited reactive oxygen species signaling is mediated by the PbrCrRLK1L13-PbrMPK18 module in pear pollen tubes
Hortic Res. 2021 Oct 4;8(1):222. doi: 10.1038/s41438-021-00684-y.ABSTRACTRapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are cysteine-rich peptides that play important roles in a variety of biological processes, such as cell elongation and immune signaling. Recent studies in Arabidopsis have shown that RALFs regulate pollen tube growth via plasma membrane receptor-like kinases (RLKs). However, the downstream signal transduction mechanisms of RLKs in pollen tubes are unknown. Here, we identified PbrRALF2, a pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) pollen RALF peptide that inhibits pollen tube growth. We found that PbrRALF2 interacts with a malecti...

The antimicrobial activity of biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized from extracts of Red and Green European pear cultivars
Artif Cells Nanomed Biotechnol. 2021 Dec;49(1):614-625. doi: 10.1080/21691401.2021.1980884.ABSTRACTGreen nanotechnology stands amongst the leading giants of innovation for the twenty first century technological advances. More interesting, is the use of natural products as reducing agents. These could be recyclable materials from fruits and vegetables to produce nanoparticles (NPs) with novel properties. In the current study, silver NPs (AgNPs) were synthesized using the water extracts from the peel and flesh of two Pyrus communis L. cultivars, namely, the Forelle (Red) Pears (RPE) and Packham Triumph (Green) Pears (GPE). T...
