Inheritance of chilling-dependent pear fruit ripening
Author: Richard L. Bell

Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Determine the segregation of an absolute and quantitative requirements for fruit chilling in the two crosses by evaluating fruit ripening after 7 days at 20°C following 0, 30, and 60 days at -1°C. 2. Determine the genetic composition of the parents and selected seedlings with no, moderate, and high chilling requirements for allelic variants of ACS genes, and determine the relationship between genotype and chilling-requirement.
