Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are a class of proteoglycans found in cell secretions and plasma membranes of plants. Attention is currently focused on their structure and their potential role in growth and development. We present evidence that two members of a major class of AGPs, the classical
A disorder in pears that is known as 'hard-end' fruit affects the appearance, edible quality, and market value of pear fruit. RNA-Seq was carried out on the calyx end of 'Whangkeumbae' pear fruit with and without the hard-end symptom to explore the mechanism underlying the formation of hard-end. The
Lignin, a natural macromolecular compound, plays an important role in the texture and taste of fruit. Hard end is a physiological disorder of pear fruit, in which the level of lignification in fruit tissues is dramatically elevated. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase and expansin genes (PpCAD2 and
A physical map of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of pear [Pyrus ussuriensis var. hondoensis (Nakai et Kikuchi) Rehder] was constructed using five restriction enzymes, SalI, XhoI, BamHI, SacI and PstI. This information will make it possible to investigate the phylogenetic relationships between Pyrus
Typical symptoms of fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora, were observed in late June of 1998 on Crataegus monogyna Jacq. (hawthorn) and Pyrus pyraster Burgsd. (syn. P. caucasia, wild or thorny pear) in the region of Plovdiv. Symptoms observed on hawthorn were shepherd's-crook shoots, necrotic
In 2005, a fire blight epidemic occurred for the second time within the last 3 years, and severe damages were observed on pome fruits trees in many regions of Bulgaria. For the first time, we found fire blight on Pyrus elaeagrifolia and Amelanchier sp. grown in a park area (Plovdiv Region),
Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are proteoglycans of higher plants, which are implicated in growth and development. We recently have shown that two AGPs, NaAGP1 (from Nicotiana alata styles) and PcAGP1 (from Pyrus communis cell suspension culture), are modified by the addition of a
Sucrose synthase (SS) is a key enzyme involved in sucrose metabolism that is critical in plant growth and development, and particularly quality of the fruit. Sucrose synthase gene families have been identified and characterized in plants various plants such as tobacco, grape, rice, and Arabidopsis.
In order to improve pear resistance against fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora, a search for promoters driving high-level expression of transgenes specifically in response to this bacterial pathogen has been undertaken. We have examined the ability of hsr203J, str246C and sgd24 tobacco
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous enzymes in animals and plants, and they are multifunctional proteins encoded by a large gene family. GSTs are involved in response to the oxidative stress including drought, salt, heavy metals, and so on. Under oxidative stress, the excessive reactive
WRKY comprises a large family of transcription factors in plants, but most WRKY members are still poorly understood. In this study, we report the identification and functional characterization of PbrWRKY53 isolated from Pyrus betulaefolia. PbrWRKY53 was greatly up-regulated by drought and abscisic
Little is known about the mechanisms by which mRNAs are transported over long distances in the phloem between the rootstock and the scion in grafted woody plants. We identified an mRNA in the pear variety 'Du Li' (Pyrus betulaefolia) that was shown to be transportable in the phloem. It contains a
P-ATPase are a large protein family of integral membrane, playing an important role in plant growth, development and stress. P-ATPase genes family have been identified and characterized in several model plants such as cotton, grapes, tobacco, rice, rubber plant and Arabidopsis. However, still lack
The genomic clone encoding the pistil-specific thaumatin/PR5-like protein (PsTL1) was isolated from Japanese pear (Pyrus serotina). Sequence analysis showed that the genomic clone contained the 5'-flanking sequence of 2.4 kb, the 3'-flanking sequence of 648 bp and the coding region interrupted by a
Dwarf cultivars or dwarfing rootstocks enable high-density planting and are therefore highly desirable in modern pear production. Previously, we found that the dwarf growth habit of pear is controlled by a single dominant gene PcDw. In this study, PcPIN-L (PCP021016) was cloned from dwarf-type and
