Development and application of a multiple nucleotide polymorphism (MNP)-based molecular identification system for pear cultivars.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pear is one of the most popular and widely cultivated fruits globally, with rich cultivar diversity. Pyrus species are characterized by self-incompatibility and the absence of reproductive barriers between species, leading to extensive gene flow and genetic recombination among different types of cultivars. As a result, cultivar identification technologies have considerable practical significance in pear production. Multiple nucleotide polymorphism (MNP) technology, which combines multiplex PCR amplification and high-throughput sequencing, offers high efficiency and accuracy in pear cultivar identification, and meets the needs of cultivar innovation and industry development.

Results

We applied MNP technology to pear cultivar identification for the first time, estab
