Thompson et al. (1974) suggested that the control of grit content is complex, regulated by a minimum of four loci that act in an independent and additive fashion. In most hybrids derived from crosses of Asian and European pears, it is difficult to recover pure crisp flesh selections with little grittiness (Wang 1990, Bell et al. 1996). Several genetic studies have been conducted on ski ..." |
