were manually sorted in two groups: crown diameters <10 mm and >10 mm based on the report of Menzel and Smith (2012) that between 40% and 48% of bare-root shipments had crowns with a diameter <10 mm. Bare-root crowns were measured individually with a
goal is to build cultivar-specific models for PNW pear varieties that could be adopted in all the steps of the fruit supply chain to nondestructively predict DM from the field (at high temperatures) to sorting (room temperature) to storage (low

reciprocal crosses allow for a reduction in heterozygosity. These crosses represent a sort of self-fertilization, reaching an “almost pure line” after several crosses. In addition, the selected LM3-2 n mutant, characterized by high and constant cropping
