“…Pear is a member of the pomological pome fruit species, included in the genus Pyrus , which is the subfamily Maloideae (Pomoideae) of the Rosaceae family (Itai, 2007). It is the second most‐produced pome fruit type in the world after the apple (87.2 million tons) with an annual production amount of 23.9 million tons (FAO, 2019).…”

This study aimed at determining the respiration rate of fresh-cut 'Deveci' pears and studying the effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on its quality. Respiration rate decreased with decreasing O 2 level and it was determined as 1.04 ml O 2 /kg/hr or 1.16 ml CO 2 /kg/hr, under 4% O 2 +5% CO 2 gaseous environment at 4°C. Michaelis-Menten with no inhibition was the best model to fit the respiration data. MAP under 2.15% O 2 +8.70% CO 2 equilibrium atmosphere resulted in a lower total color change, a*-value, chroma, and a higher hue angle and L*-value compared to the air-control during 8-day storage at 4°C. The firmness of pear slices was better maintained in the MAP.The MAP treatment was successful in controlling the total soluble solids, pH, and titratable acidity of the fresh-cut pears. As a result, MAP of fresh-cut 'Deveci' pears has an important potential to preserve the physicochemical properties of the product. Novelty impact statementRespiration rate of fresh-cut 'Deveci' pears was reduced by 3-4-fold to 1.04 ml O 2 / kg/hr or 1.16 ml CO 2 /kg/hr values by modified atmosphere of 4% O 2 and 5% CO 2 at 4°C. Michaelis-Menten model with no CO 2 inhibition was the best model for respiration rate as a function of O 2 and CO 2 concentrations. Modified atmosphere packaging improved texture and color, and maintained acidity and total soluble solids of fresh-cut 'Deveci' pears during storage.

“…In the United States, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, breeders have used the pear wild type (crosses between Asian and European pears) to their crosses, in order to obtain greater resistance to cold and "fire blight" disease caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora that is widely spread, though causing a large reduction in the quality of the fruit, which was repaired with successive backcrosses. The most notable difference between these junctions is undoubtedly the texture [31][32][33]. Wild type pears are used today as a rootstock because of their cold tolerance and adaptability to different environments [31].…”

The pear (Pyrus communis L.) is a typical fruit of temperate regions, having its origin and domestication at two different points, China and Asia Minor until the Middle East. It is the fifth most widely produced fruit in the world, being produced mainly in China, Europe, and the United States. Pear belongs to rosaceous family, being a close "cousin" of the apple, but with some particularities that make this fruit special with a delicate flavor. Thus, it deserves a special attention and a meticulous review of all the history involved, and the recent research devoted to it, because of the economic and cultural importance of this fruit in a range of countries and cultures. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to approach the history of the origin, domestication, and dispersal of pears, as well as reporting their botany, their current scenario in the world, and their breeding and conservation.
