Varieties of the European pear (Pyrus communis) can produce trees with both red-and green-skinned fruits, such as the Max Red Bartlett (MRB) variety, although little is known about the mechanism behind this differential pigmentation. In this study, we investigated the pigmentation of MRB and its gre...
