Comparative Evaluation of Pyrus Species to Identify Possible Resources of Interest in Pear Breeding

Pear is one of the most important fruit species grown in temperate zones globe. Besides production, pear are highly valued forestry and agroforestry systems; landscaping, as ornamental features; fruits ecological value, other areas. The Pyrus species, obtained from a gene bank, were evaluated for different morphological traits trees, leaves, flowers, fruits, well their responses to attacks principal diseases pests. Phenotypic data examined using correlation multivariate analyses, dendrogram was completed via molecular investigations at DNA level RAPD markers. findings revealed complexities phenotypic genetic connections among difficulty establishing phylogenetic relationships species. also demonstrated that wide variability between with geographical origins, multiple peculiarities interest, represents cornerstone source genes great utility breeding or utilizing trees edible crops silvocultural, landscape, purposes.
