Apple simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were intergenerically applied to the characterization of 36 pear accessions, including 19 Japanese pears (Pyrus pyrifolia), 7 Chinese pears (P. bretschneideri, P. ussuriensis), 5 European pears (P. communis), 3 wild relatives (P. calleryana), and 2 hybrids between P. pyrifolia and P. communis. All of the tested SSR primers derived from apple produced discrete amplified fragments in all pear accessions. Nucleotide repeats were detected in the amplified bands by both Southern blot and sequencing analysis, and nucleotide sequences of pear were compared with those of apple. The differences in fragment size among pear or between pear and apple were, in many cases, due to the differences in repeat number. Interestingly, the DNA sequence of flanking regions in apple was highly conserved in pear. Hybrids from P. pyrifoliaXP. communis showed one fragment inherited from each parent in all scorable cases, which suggested that each primer pair amplified fragments originating from the same locus. A total of 79 alleles were detected from seven SSR loci in pear, and all pear varieties except for the mutants could be differentiated. In conclusion, SSRs isolated from apple are highly conserved in pear and could be utilized as DNA markers in the latter genus.
