Pear is the third largest fruit tree species in China, with cultivation area and yield accounting for about 70% of the world total. However, the stone cell content of Asian pear is generally higher than that of western pear, especially for some traditional cultivars, which leads to rough texture and taste, and affects the quality and market competitiveness of pear. Stone cell is a special character of pear fruit. At present, frozen hydrochloric acid separation method is the most commonly used method to measure the content of stone cell, but this method can not completely separate stone cell and pulp, and the operation is tedious and time-consuming, which can not meet the needs of efficient evaluation of pear variety resources and genetic breeding.
To solve this problem, recently, pear research group of Nanjing Agricultural University developed a tool "pear process" based on computer image processing to detect the phenotype of pear stone cells. Researchers only need to use simple section dyeing and photographing, and collect and analyze image data through visual software, then they can comprehensively analyze the differences of stone cell number, size, area and density parameters of pear fruit Different. This research breaks through the traditional method of pear fruit phenotypic physiological evaluation, and combines with computer image processing technology to achieve the efficient collection and accurate analysis of the phenotype data of stone cell traits, which provides a valuable reference for the efficient evaluation of other phenotypes of pear. The research results are entitled "Pearl process: a new phenomenal tool for stone cell trail evaluation in pear fruit" and published in Journal of integrated agriculture (JIA) No. 6, 2020.
In this study, 395 pear varieties were analyzed by the "Pearl process" software. It was revealed that the number, size, area and density of stone cells varied from 138-2866, 2e-4 cm2-1e-3 cm2, 0.06 cm2-2.02 cm2, 0.0019 cm2 / cm2-0.0632 cm2 / cm2 among different pear varieties. At the same time, it was found that the stone cell content of sand pear was the highest, that of white pear was the second, and that of western pear was the lowest. In addition, by comparing the phenotype data of stone cell characters with the correlation analysis of taste, it is found that stone cell density is the most important factor affecting the essence of pear. The results are of great significance to the selection of excellent pear varieties and the genetic improvement of stone cell characters.
