Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are widespread among higher plants of different taxonomic orders. In this study, we report on the RIP sequences found in the genome/transcriptome of several important Rosaceae species, including many economically important edible fruits such as apple, pear, peach, apricot, and strawberry. All RIP domains from Rosaceae share high sequence similarity with con...

Reducing levels of fruit set is often desirable in many European pear (Pyrus communis L.) cultivars. With a negative linear relationship between crop load and size, management early the season minimises wastage tree carbohydrate resources provides maximum benefits terms size quality. There are several tools available for managing including hand thinning, chemical photosynthetic inhibition throu...

In the last decades, several biochemical and molecular studies in pear (Pyrus spp.) have revealed processes associated with dormancy establishment release, leading to identification of MADS-box family genes related bud regulation. Thus, aim this study was evaluate a preliminary expression pattern PpDAM13-1 PpDAM13-2 leaf buds pyrifolia Nakai, cultivars Hosui Nijisseiki; Pyrus communis L., Rocha...

Objective: Analyze the effect of sugar substitution by dehydrated aguamiel on physicochemical quality pear jam (Pyrus communis L.) 
 Design/methodology/approach: Different levels were analyzed (0, 25 and 50%). Physicochemical parameters as color, pH, acidity, density, consistency soluble solids evaluated.
 Results: Results showed that color characteristics was changed Study limitation...

Cultured pear (Pyrus communis L. cv Passe Crassane) cells were subjected to temperatures of 39, 42, and 45[deg]C. Heat-shock protein (hsp) synthesis was greater at 30[deg]C than at temperatures above 40[deg]C and continued for up to 8 h. Both cellular uptake of radiolabeled methionine and total protein synthesis were progressively lower as the temperature was increased. Polysome levels decrease...
