Hormonal regulation of secondary abscission in pear pedicels in vitro

In vitro cultivated pear, Pyrus communis L. cv. Beurré Hardy, pedicels cut above their primary abscission layer can form a secondary abscission layer, especially under the influence of auxins or cytokinins in the culture medium. The maximum percentage of abscission reached by auxin application was always higher than that by cytokinin. The presence of the flower was of no consequence to the abscission. Characteristic differences in abscission were observed between pear and apple pedicels. In contrast to apple (1) secondary abscission in pear could also be induced by cytokinins, and (2) the site of abscission in pear was dependent on the auxin concentration. At lower auxin concentrations abscission was induced in the basal parts of the pedicels inserted in the medium, whereas at higher auxin concentrations the abscission layer was formed in the terminal parts of the pedicels above the culture medium. A clear effect of gibberellins, ABA and CEPA could not be detected.

The predators' complex of pear-feeding psyllids in unsprayed wild pear trees in greece

Four insect species producing honeydew, exploited by bees, were found on wild pear trees,Pyrus amygdaliformis Vill.. Three of them were Psyllids,Cacopsylla (Hepatopsylla) notata (Flor),Cacopsylla (Thamnopsylla) pyrisuga (Förster), Cacopsylla (Hepatopsylla) pyri (L.), and one was Aphid,Dysaphis pyri D.d.F. The 1 rst one was the most abundant. Although these species are producing honeydew from spring to autumn, the bees are foraging on it only during September and October, and not every year. A total of 18 predatory species were counted. Five of them,Anthocoris nemoralis F.,Atractotomus mali Mey.,Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens),Anisochrysa flavifrons (Brauer) andAnisochrysa prasina (Burmeister) were bred in laboratory on the Psyllids. It seems that the predators of theseHomoptera may be able to cause a decrease of their population level. Three predators,Anthocoris nemoralis F.,Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) andCoccinella septempuctata L., were very common, and the last 2 were present almost all the year round.

Isolation of β-galactosidase fractions from Japanese pear: Activity against native cell wall polysaccharides

β-Galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) was purified from the cell wall of the fruit of Japanese pear ( Pyrus serotina Rehder var. culta Rehder cv. Hosui) and characterized. Five peaks of β-galactosidase activity, designated as Gal I to V, were separated by hydrophobic chromatography on butyl toyopearl and ion exchange chromatography on Mono S. These isolated β-galactosidases were investigated with regard to their abilities to release monomeric galactose from the fractionated polymers of native cell wall (cyclo-hexane-trans-1,2-diamine tetraacetic acid-, Na₂CO₃-, guanidine thiocyanate- and KOH-soluble fractions) and arabinogalactan (from larch wood). All the β-galactosidase fractions were active against native cell wall polysaccharides although to varying degrees. Gal I reacted to all fractions of native cell wall polysaccharides although to varying degrees. Gal I reacted to all fractions of native cell wall and arabinogalactan. Gal II released much galactose only from KOH-soluble polymers and arabinogalactan. Gal III released the most galactose. from cyclohexane- trans -1,2-diamine tetraacetic acid-, Na₂CO₃- and guanidine thiocyanate-soluble cell wall polymers which probably contained galactosyl side chains of pectic polymers, although it did not react much to arabinogalactan. In addition, the activity of Gal Ill dramatically increased as ripening proceeded. Furthermore, Gal III was purified to homogeneity by gel filtration on TSKgel 3000SW and the size of a polypeptide was 80 kDa on SDS-PAGE.     

Tethered flight activity of pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola: Seasonal, host, and morphotypic effects

Pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola Förster (Homoptera: Psyllidae), was flown in the laboratory to test hypotheses suggested by field observations. Flight durations of the same insects flown on two different days were highly correlated, suggesting that there were biolgical differences among insects in flight tendencies. Flight durations were similar between summerform and winterform morphotypes. Flight frequencies and durations increased between September and November collections of winterforms, results that are consistent with field observations. Long-duration (60+ min) flights were three to four times as frequent in winterforms restricted to senescing pear foliage compared to insects provided access to pear seedlings. Winterforms collected during the fall flight period from a pear orchard and an adjacent apple orchard (an overwintering habitat) showed similar flight durations. There was no correlation between flight durations and any of five body and wing measurements; body size of winterforms increased between September and November. It has been proposed elsewhere that much of the fall movement into adjacent non-pear habitats by winterforms is due to short duration non-migratory flights rather than to a true migratory flight. The lack of differences between apple- and pear-collected winterforms may be consistent with this hypothesis.     

Functional analysis of four Class III peroxidases from Chinese pear fruit: a critical role in lignin polymerization

Pear fruit could be used as good medicine to relieve coughs, promote salivation, nourish lungs, and reduce the risk of many diseases for its phytochemical action. Lignin is a major secondary metabolite in Chinese pear fruit. Class III peroxidase (Class III PRX) is an important enzyme in the biosynthesis of lignin in plants. However, we poorly understand the role of PRXs in lignin biosynthesis in Chinese pear fruit. In our study, we cloned five PRXs from Chinese pear (Pyrus bretschneideri), namely PbPRX2, PbPRX22, PbPRX34, PbPRX64, and PbPRX75, which contained 978 bp encoded 326 amino acids (AA), 2607 bp encoded 869 AA, 972 bp encoded 324 AA, 687 bp encoded 229 AA, and 1020 bp encoded 340 AA, respectively. Enzyme activity analysis showed that four recombinant PbPRX proteins had catalytic activities for pyrogallol, guaiacol, ferulic acid, coniferyl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol. Subcellular localization experiments showed that these genes were located in the cell wall or cell membrane. Enzyme activity and kinetics of PbPRX2 revealed its role in polymerization of lignin in Chinese pear fruit. The present study suggested that PbPRXs played critical roles in lignin biosynthesis in Chinese pear fruit.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-021-00949-9.
