Fruit shape is one of the important quantitative traits in pear (Pyrus spp.) breeding program, thus genetic study related to fruit could be beneficial breeding. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis was carried out using ‘Whangkeumbae’ (P. pyrifolia, round) × ‘Yali’ bretschneideri, pyriform) and high-resolution melting (HRM) markers were developed. The linkage map constructed single nucleotide...

The pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) is an important accessory fruit in which the core tarter than pulp. However, reason for acidic and diversity taste of same not clear. In this study, we observed that citrate contents were three times higher pulp, while malate content decreased along with development was significantly lower pulp at 110 days after flowering. Overall transcript levels citrate-malate synt...
