Abstract:

Drought is an important abiotic stress that limits the development of the global pear industry and has an important impact on the growth and development of pear trees and the formation of fruit quality. In this paper,the physiological mechanism of pear in response to drought stress was summarized from the aspects of osmotic regulation,antioxidant defense and water balance,and the molecular regulation mechanisms such as drought signal perception,transcriptional regulation pathway and post-translational modification were expounded. Combined with the screening of cultivar resources and the breeding of new cultivars,the progress of drought-resistant breeding of pear was summarized. The current drought-resistant regulation measures of pear were listed,the existing problems in the existing research were analyzed,and the future research hotspots were prospected,in order to provide theoretical basis and guidance for drought-resistant cultivation and breeding of pear.

Key words: pear, drought, stress, responding mechanism
