Welcome!

This website was developed to serve as a clearing house and one-stop resource center for pear research and researchers.

It was established to provide support and a forum to those in the scientific community who are conducting research involving pears. Among these pages you will find a compilation of information and resources that analyze the life of our favorite fruit from seed to stomach.

There is also a Facebook page developed to further the conversation and where you can post questions and comments about research needs or topics of interest.
