Description

Fruit quality and flavour are important targets in all pear breeding programmes. Perceived sweetness is directly influenced by the amount and type of sugar accumulated in fruit. Limited information is available on sugar composition in pear fruit and published studies have been completed using cultivars rather than breeding populations. The objective of this research was to determine the quantitative genetic parameters of sugar content in fruit of interspecific hybrids from families making up ...
