an evaluation of self-compatibility vs. self-incompatibility in some asian pears (pyrus serotina rehd.) and european pears (pyrus communis l.) as well as native pear cultivars
Authors
abstract
the present research was conducted to determine the percent self-incompatibility in some asian pear (pyrus serotina rehd.) as well in european pear (pyrus communis l.) cultivars. the experiment was carried out during 2006 and 2007 growing seasons. pollen grains were collected and tested for viability using in-vitro pollen culture. for microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style, pollinated flowers were sampled and fixed in the faa solution after 48, 72, 96 and 120 hour post pollination. at the time of flowering stage and during both seasons, asian and european pear cultivars exhibited a reasonable overlap of flowering. pollen viability test on asian pear (as well as microscopic examination of pollen tube growth) in all the studied cultivars showed 55 to 70% pollen germination, indicating that pollen grains involved in the experiment were healthy and viable, although in most of the studied cultivars pollen tube stopped growth at a one third point to style ending. results as based on the final fruit set (in-vivo test) showed a fruit set of less than 5% for asian, european and as well for the native studied cultivars. so, one can conclude that all the studied cultivars were self-incompatible. therefore, as for the future breeding programs, cross pollination is suggested within asian pears as well as among asian and european pears to create and produce working material of enough variability. in addition, in order to produce higher yields, it is necessary to carry out control pollination experiments (utilizing various cultivars as pollen and seed parents) to determine cross-compatible groups for the newly established asian pear orchards in iran.

Anthocyanin biosynthesis in various plants is affected by environmental conditions and controlled by the transcription level of the corresponding genes. In pears (Pyrus communis cv. 'Wujiuxiang'), anthocyanin biosynthesis is significantly induced during low temperature storage compared with that at room temperature. We further examined the transcriptional levels of anthocyanin biosynthetic gene...

The Pyrus species exhibit the gametophytic self -incompatibility which is considered to be the most widespread self-incompatibility system among flowering plants. This system prevents self-fertilization through a specific pollen-pistil recognition mechanism. The S-allele diversity in the Iranian genotypes indicates that the pear germplasm of Iran can be an excellent source of variability for br...

We present a draft assembly of the genome of European pear (Pyrus communis) 'Bartlett'. Our assembly was developed employing second generation sequencing technology (Roche 454), from single-end, 2 kb, and 7 kb insert paired-end reads using Newbler (version 2.7). It contains 142,083 scaffolds greater than 499 bases (maximum scaffold length of 1.2 Mb) and covers a total of 577.3 Mb, representing ...
