Plants adopt physiological defense mechanisms to counteract droughts. In Colombia, there is no information for these mechanisms in pears (Pyrus communis L.), cv. Triunfo de Viena. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the hydric conditions of this plant in order to determine if it has developed a mechanism to avoid, reduce, or tolerate water stresses as a defense. This experiment used a pear crop located in the municipality of Sesquile (Colombia), with 16-year-old trees that were subjected to three irrigation treatments: a control that received 100% of this crop's evapotranspiration (100%ETc), and 73%ETc and 53%ETc treatments were irrigated at 73% and 53% of crop's evapotranspiration, respectively, for the entire rapid fruit growth period of 2012 to 2013. The results indicated that the irrigation reduction in 53%ETc treatment present an adaptive mechanism in the trees, with a structural change in the cellular wall that allowed for 47% water savings in this fruit growth stage.

One of the consequences of a water deficit in the vegetative growth is the modification of the plant vigor, which determines the extent and the rate of growth and lengthening in shoots, which, in this phase, is more important than fruit growth, which is very slow in terms of dry mass accumulation. The objective of this research was to determine the effect on the vegetative growth of the pear variety Triunfo de Viena (Pyrus communis L) of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI), which was compared with a control irrigated at 100% crop evapotranspiration (ETc). The irrigation treatments consisted of the application of watering regimes of 74 and 48% ETc in treatment T2 and 60 and 27% ETc in treatment T3 in 2014 and 2015, respectively, during the period of rapid fruit growth with the same watering regime used in T1 (control) applied during the rest of the season. The irrigation reduction used in T2 and T3 represented water savings of 26% and 40% in 2014 and 52% and 73% in 2015, respectively. In the deficit treatments, there were no significant differences with respect to the control for the length, or absolute and relative growth rates (AGR and RGR) of the shoots. The weight of the wood from the fructification pruning had a significant difference between T3 and the control.

Self-incompatibility system and allele pool of three different pear species, European pear (Pyrus communis), Japanese pear (P. serotina) and Chinese pear (P ussuriensis) are displayed. Several inconsistencies and the absence of the harmonization of three different allele series are revealed in the European pears. By collecting data from several reports eight incompatibility groups of Japanese pear cultivars could be established. A self-compatible genotype is analysed in details and shown to be a stylar-part mutant. As Japanese pear was the first fruit tree species from which S-ribonucleases were identified, the history of S-genotyping from the beginning to the latest achievements and technical developments can be also monitored from the experiments enumerated. In Chinese pears, seven S-alleles and one incompatibility group could be identified.
