Summary: This multi-investigator project represented multi-disciplinary activities aimed at ensuring superior pear fruit quality. Thanks to the vision of the PNW pear industry, over 68 scientists from US, Europe and South America representing diverse disciplines continue to work together with their respective industries on several aspects initiated as part of this project. A draft roadmap has been developed from our collective activities in collaboration with NW Hort Council. Further funding is being sought from USDA and NSF to build upon the foundation developed as part of this project.
