“…The lowest coefficient of variation was observed for fruit length (12.67%). Similar studies have shown high morphological variation in pear (Pereira-Lorenzo et al, 2012;Selamovska et al, 2015).…”

Fruit quality attributes were studied in eight old pear cultivars grown in a Mediterranean climate in the Centereasternof Tunisia. Fruit quantitative and qualitative morphological parameters, fruit skin color on both sunexposedand shaded fruit sides, and chemical characteristics in both flesh and peel (titratable acidity, TSS, fructose,glucose, sucrose, total sugars, citric and malic acids) were evaluated. A high variability was found in the set of theevaluated pear cultivars. The fruit weight varied from 22.63 g to 63.72 g and firmness varied from 2.78 kg/cm2and 4.78 kg/cm2. ‘Arbi Sidi Bou Ali’ and ‘Arbi Bouficha’ presented the biggest fruits. However, ‘Radsi’ tendedto have the smallest fruits. ‘Jrani’ and ‘Arbi Chiheb’ have shown the lowest values of healthy seeds per fruit.‘Radsi’ pears were the most red-colored fruits, while ‘Jrani’ ‘Arbi Chiheb’ and ‘Arbi Bouficha’ produced greenyellowishfruits. Results showed also that pear fruit flesh had more effective sugars and organic acids comparedto peel for all cultivars. The TSS ranged from14.6° brix to 19.1°Brix in the flesh and from 12 to 17.1°Brix in thepeel. ‘Arbi Chiheb’ was distinguished by the highest malic acid content in both flesh and peel. Titratable aciditywas significantly higher in ‘Arbi Sidi Bou Ali’, ‘Tourki’ and ‘Meski Arteb’ compared to other cultivars. A highcorrelation was found among some pear quality attributes, which could reduce the number of pomological traits.These results would be a guide in the selection of potential cultivars which are used in food industry and freshmarket as well as in breeding programs.

“…The most commercial genotypes are: ʽGenotype 10ʼ (7.95 g) and ʽGenotype 5ʼ (9.24 g). Selimovska et al [2015] examined the local pear varieties (Pyrus communis L.) in West Macedonia, which showed the variation of fruit weight in the range of 13.8 g to 214.1 g, and Đurić et al [2015] examined the fruit weight of local pear varieties (Pyrus communis L.) in north-western part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and concluded that it ranged from 31.1 to 109.4 g.…”

The aim of this work is to produce the generative rootstocks for the wild pears, which will be of moderate denseness. The initial material is the population of wild pear in the area of Polimlje. The study focused on few segments. Very first one included recording of the phenological traits – first flowering, full flowering, end of flowering and harvest period. The other segment comprised pomological features, i.e. physical [fruit weight (g), fruit size (mm), mass of dry seed (g), and number of seed in 1 kg of the fruit]. Seeds from 9 selected genotypes of wild pears were planted in the nursery and raised seedlings were evaluated for nursery characteristics: germination, seedling vigor, uniformidty and branching. Raised seedlings were used as rootstocks for scion cultivar ‘Grand Champion’. The most important benefit of this study is the fact that the parent trees, the seeds of which provide the best morphological and physiological characteristics for the production of generative rootstocks, were found and favored (in situ). Results of this research show that the rapid growth and uniformity of scions depend on the genetic characteristics of generative rootstocks of selected genotypes of wild pears, such as: plant height, stem diameter (corpulence), branching and uniformity. The selected genotypes, especially ‘Genotype 11’, proved to be the best for mountainous areas of the north of Montenegro, higher altitudes and poorer types of soil. The ‘Genotype 11’ is suggested as the best option for the production of generative rootstocks due to its small vigour level.

This work represents an ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal study focused on recording autochthonous pear varieties of the Polimlje region in southwest Serbia. The purpose of the study was to highlight genetic resources of pear varieties in situ and emphasize aspects of ethnodiversity and traditional knowledge. A special feature of the research area is the great diversity of indigenous varieties of pear, which have been cultivated for hundreds of years. Forty-six respondents from 25 to 78 years of age residing in 23 villages were interviewed, and 26 autochthonous pear varieties were recorded in the field. Among them 11.5% are widely available, 26.9% are rare, and 61.5% are very rare. For ethnomedicinal purposes, pear is used as a remedy against hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and constipation; for reduction of body mass; as a uroseptic and/or an antirheumatic; and for cancer prevention. Pears are consumed as fresh fruit and in numerous food products. Depopulation of the investigated rural area is directly responsible for depletion of the gene pool of pear varieties and for loss of traditional knowledge. Preservation can be achieved by in situ methods such as raising awareness of the local inhabitants and ensuring support of the State.
