Abstract:

A total of 488 pear germplasms from National Horticulture Germplasm Resources Center Pear Branch Center(Zhengzhou)were used as test materials. The fruits texture(peel firmness,peel brittleness,peel toughness,pulp firmness,pulp fineness,pulp brittleness)was determined during the ripening period of fruits for two consecutive years,and the distribution characteristics,variation degree and grey relation analysis of the determination results were carried out. The results showed that the data of fruit texture of germplasm resources had good repeatability and stability in two years. A five-level grading evaluation standard of these traits was established. According to the grading standards of three characters of pear pulp,the germplasm resources with pulp firmness value less than 10,pulp brittleness value less than 36,and pulp fineness value less than 17 are important materials for improving the pear pulp texture. The texture traits with larger coefficient of variation of P. bretschneideri are peel toughness and pulp firmness,the texture traits with larger coefficient of variation of P. ussuriensis are peel toughness,pulp firmness and pulp fineness,the texture traits with large coefficient of variation of P. communis are peel toughness and pulp fineness,the texture traits with large coefficient of variation of P. sinkiangensis was pulp firmness and pulp fineness,while the coefficient of variation of each trait of P. pyrifolia was lower. Among the 3 traits of peel,peel toughness had greater coefficient of variation,while among the pulp 3 traits,pulp firmness and pulp fineness had greater coefficient of variation. The genetic background of fruit texture of P. ussuriensis,and P. sinkiangensis is more abundant. Using the grey relation analysis(GRA)method,the high-quality‘Yuluxiang’‘Danxiahong’and‘Yali’were used as reference varieties to screen out ‘Xiangchi’ ‘Hongsumi’ ‘Chonghuada’ ‘Guiguan’ ‘Jinzhou Dayali’ ‘Baixue’ and other cultivars with excellent fruit texture.

Key words: pear, germplasm, fruit texture, comprehensive evaluation
