Maximizing and minimizing pear (Pyrus sp.) chimeral segregation in vitro

A protocol has been developed for maximizing and minimizing chimeral segregation in vitro of three periclinal pear chimeras ('Louise Bonne Panachee' (p1092) ('LB'); 'Red Hardy' ('RH'); 'Red Comice' ('RC'). Among the factors involved in chimeral stabilization and segregation were growth regulators (TDZ and BA), medium type, and selection at subculture. The pear chimeral cultivars used in this study showed differential responses to some of these factors. 'LB' chimera was a less stable cultivar than 'RC' and 'RH'; red 'RH' was the most stable cultivar.
