Addressing the pear genome, this book covers the current state of
knowledge regarding genetic and genomic resources, breeding
approaches and strategies, as well as cutting-edge content on how
these tools and resources are being / soon will be utilized to
pursue genetic improvement efforts that will combine fruit quality,
high productivity, precocious fruit bearing, and long postharvest
storage life, along with elevated levels of resistance to various
major diseases and insect pests. Throughout, the book also explores
potential opportunities and challenges in genomic analysis,
sequence assembly, structural features, as well as functional
studies that will assist in future genetic improvement efforts for
pears. The pear (Pyrus), an important tree fruit crop, is grown
worldwide, and has several economically relevant cultivars. In
recent years, modern genetic and genomic tools have resulted in the
development of a wide variety of valuable resources for the pear.
In the past few years, completion of whole genome assemblies of
'Dangshansuli', an Asian pear, and 'Bartlett', a European pear,
have paved the way for new discoveries regarding for example, the
pear's genomic structure, chromosome evolution, and patterns of
genetic variation. This wealth of new resources will have a major
impact on our knowledge of the pear genome; in turn, these
resources and knowledge will have significant impacts on future
genetic improvement efforts.
