'LB' chimera was a less stable cultivar than 'RC' and 'RH'; red 'RH' was the most stable cultivar.","TDZ strongly destabilized pear chimeral cultivars, especially 'LB'.","The 'LB' chimera was most stable on single phase MMS. However, single and double phase MMS produced shoots with very clear chimeral patterns. 'RC' was more stable on single and double phase MMS than on SMS which resulted in more offtypes (green); red 'RH' was quite stable on all MMS and SMS media.","Selection at subculture increased the stability and clarity of 'LB' chimera, when it was grown on a medium proper for its maintenance. The stability and instability of pear chimeras was found to be associated with the rate of proliferation and callus formation.","The clarity of the 'LB' chimera was highest at low levels of BA (2 to 16 $\\mu$M); 18 and 20 $\\mu$M BA gave least clear chimera. TDZ strongly reduced the chimera clarity of 'LB' at all levels. Leaf and stem anthocyanin of red sports responded differently to the growth regulators and medium types. Stem anthocyanin was more stable than leaf anthocyanin.","In general, pear cultivars proliferated better on MLP, than SMS. The chimeral patterns of 'LB' were very clear on SMS, making it easy to screen them for their chimeral status. MLP, with levels of BA greater than 2 $\\mu$M, gave high proliferation rates for both 'LB' chimera and selected green 'RH'; levels of BA greater than 4 $\\mu$M resulted in high proliferation rates for 'RC'. Red 'RH' gave significantly more shoots at BA levels greater than 8 $\\mu$M. In terms of TDZ, the highest proliferation rates were found at the lowest levels of TDZ (1 to 6 $\\mu$M). Callus formation was stimulated at high levels of TDZ, BA, or NAA.","Overall, the most adventitious shoots from leaf explants of all cultivars were obtained at 4.5 $\\mu$M TDZ.
