Abstract excerpt
Dwarfing is an important agronomic characteristic in fruit breeding. However, due to the lack of dwarf cultivars and dwarf stocks, the dwarfing mechanism is poorly understood in pears. In this research, we discovered that the dwarf hybrid seedlings of pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.), 'Red Zaosu,' exhibited a xylem-deficient dwarf phenotype. The expression level of PbXND1, a suppressor of xylem development, was...
