    Abstract: Fruit color is one of the most important external qualities of pear ( Pyrus pyrifolia ) fruits. However, the mechanisms that control russet skin coloration in pear have not been well characterized. Here, we explored the molecular mechanisms that determine the russet skin trait in pear using the F 1 population derived from a cross between russet skin (‘Niitaka’) and non-russet skin (‘Dangshansu’) cultivars. Pigment measurements indicated that the lignin content in the skin of the russet pear fruits was greater than that in the non-russet pear skin. Genetic analysis revealed that the phenotype of the russet skin pear is associated with an allele of the PpRus gene. Using bulked segregant analysis combined with the genome sequencing (BSA-seq), we identified two simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker loci linked with the russet-colored skin trait in pear. Linkage analysis showed that the PpRus locus maps to the scaffold NW_008988489.1: 53297-211921 on chromosome 8 in the pear genome. In the mapped region, the expression level of LOC103929640 was significantly increased in the russet skin pear and showed a correlation with the increase of lignin content during the ripening period. Genotyping results demonstrated that LOC103929640 encoding the transcription factor MYB36 is the causal gene for the russet skin trait in pear. Particularly, a W-box insertion at the PpMYB36 promoter of russet skin pears is essential for PpMYB36- mediated regulation of lignin accumulation and russet coloration in pear. Overall, these results show that PpMYB36 is involved in the regulation of russet skin trait in pear.

    Abstract: Δ1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) acts as the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of proline in plants. Although P5CS plays an essential role in plant responses to environmental stresses, its biological functions remain largely unclear in pear ( Pyrus betulifolia ). In the present study, 11 putative pear P5CSs ( PbP5CSs ) were identified by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and classified into five subfamilies. Segmental and tandem duplications contributed to the expansion and evolution of the PbP5CS gene family. Various cis-acting elements associated with plant development, hormone responses, and/or stress responses were identified in the promoters of PbP5CS genes. To investigate the regulatory roles of PbP5CS genes in response to abiotic and biotic stresses, gene expression patterns in publicly available data were explored. The tissue-specific expressional dynamics of PbP5CS genes indicate potentially important roles in pear growth and development. Their spatiotemporal expression patterns suggest key functions in multiple environmental stress responses. Transcriptome and real-time quantitative PCR analyses revealed that most PbP5CS genes exhibited distinct expression patterns in response to drought, waterlogging, salinity-alkalinity, heat, cold, and infection by Alternaria alternate and Gymnosporangium haraeanum . The results provide insight into the versatile functions of the PbP5CS gene family in stress responses. The findings may assist further exploration of the physiological functions of PbP5CS genes for the development and enhancement of stress tolerance in pear and other fruits.
