Increasing Productivity and Improving the Quality of Pears
Author: Pears
Author: Alberto Ramos LuzPublisher:
ISBN: 9781536160369
Category : Pears
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book brings up-to-date information on different topics about the pear tree cultivation. The book was organised by Alberto Ramos Luz, Technologist in Fruit Crops, MD and PhD in Plant Production, specialist and lover of this culture. The chapters were written in collaboration with researchers and professors from Universities and Research Institutions of four different continents (South America, North America, Europe and Asia). The book was divided in the following chapters: 1. Propagation and orchard establishment (Giacobbo et al.); 2. Traditional pear varieties in the east region of Republic of North Macedonia (Selamovska et al.); 3. An updated view on fertilization and pollination in European pears (Pyrus communis) (Goldway et al.); 4. Vegetative growth control (Pasa et al.); 5. Precocity production of pear trees grafted on high-vigor rootstocks (Almeida et al.); 6. Dormancy adaptation in pear trees grown under mild winter conditions in Brazil (Herter et al.); 7. Management techniques to increase yield of European pear trees grown in subtropical climate (Luz et al.); and 8. Water management based on precision agriculture for pears (Yamazaki and Miyakawa). Basic content and more specific and in-depth content are presented such as a series of research results and experiences on behavior and management tools to grown pear trees in subtropical climate, warmer conditions of the traditionally cultivated areas, subject of world-wide interest in the face of the climatic changes that are occurring over the years.
Increasing Productivity of Packham's Triumph Pears

Author: Jameel Al-KhayriPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 331991944X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 990
Book Description
This book examines the development of innovative modern methodologies towards augmenting conventional plant breeding for the production of new crop varieties, under the increasingly limiting environmental and cultivation factors, to achieve sustainable agricultural production and enhanced food security. Two volumes of Advances in Plant Breeding Strategies were published in 2015 and 2016, respectively; Volume 1: Breeding, Biotechnology and Molecular Tools and Volume 2: Agronomic, Abiotic and Biotic Stress Traits. This is Volume 3: Fruits, which is focused on advances in breeding strategies for the improvement of individual fruit crops. It consists of 23 chapters grouped into three parts, according to distribution classification of fruit trees: Part I, Temperate Fruits, Part II, Subtropical Fruits, and Part III, Tropical Fruits. Each chapter comprehensively reviews the modern literature on the subject and reflects the authors' own experience.

Handling and Preparing the Kieffer Pear for Use as Food
Author: Charles W. CulpepperPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Pears
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
The original tree of the Kieffer pear was grown by Peter Kieffer near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; it fruited first in 1863 and soon became widely distributed. The tree is vigorous, very productive, and more resistant to blight and insect attack than most varieties, which accounts for its predominance in farm and home orchards. The fruit is large and attractive, but has acquired a reputation of being very poor in quality. Because of the presence of pear blight, it is important that the very best methods of handling and using the fruit should be more widely know. This bulletin presents information to obtain the maximum quality in fresh fruit and preserved products.

Pages : 315
Book Description
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.
