郑果所牵头主编的《中国梨树志》正式出版发行

　　由中国农业科学院郑州果树研究所果树种质改良中心原主任、原梨产业体系岗位科学家李秀根研究员和南京农业大学梨工程技术研究中心主任、梨产业体系首席科学家张绍铃教授担任主编，全国30多家梨科研单位的60余名专家参与编写，历时6年精心打造的《中国梨树志》由中国农业出版社正式出版并对外发行。该书共计265万字，1408页，入编1172个梨品种，彩色照片3500多幅，精装彩印。

　　作为国家出版基金资助项目，本项目图书以2008—2015年我国梨属植物种质资源普查工作为基础，全面、动态地记录了我国梨属植物的起源与演化、现存种质资源概况、梨文化传承、生产栽培技术演变、植保和贮藏技术变革以及所取得的各项成就，如实反映了现阶段我国梨属植物科研、生产和种质资源的真实全貌。该书得到了山东农业大学束怀瑞教授和华中农业大学邓秀新教授两位院士的高度评价，认为其既继承了《中国果树志（第三卷）·梨》（1963年出版）的理论观点，也融入了现代学者近几十年的研究成果，是集我国梨属植物研究成果之大成的一部系统性的科学专著，代表了国内该领域的最高水平，具有很高的权威性、时代性、科学性、学术价值和行业指导意义。

　　该书不仅能够为我国梨属植物科研和产业发展提供重要参考、为广大读者提供可靠学习依据，更有利于加强地方果树品种资源抢救保护，在实现乡村产业振兴和农民脱贫致富、推进“绿水青山”生态文明建设、满足人民对美好生活向往的果品多样化需求等方面发挥重要作用。

　　A masterpiece in the field of scientific research and production of Pyrus plants in China——

　　‘Pears in China’ was published

　　Recently, ‘Pears in China’ was officially published by China Agriculture Press. Professor Li Xiu-gen (Former Director of Fruit Germplasm Improvement Center of Zhengzhou Fruit Research Institute in the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Former Scientist of Modern China Agriculture (Pear) Research System) and Professor Zhang Shao-ling (Director of Pear Engineering Technology Research Center of Nanjing Agricultural University and Chief scientist of Modern China Agriculture (Pear) Research System) are the co-Editors-in-chief of this book. More than 60 experts from 33 institutions participated in the compilation and it took six years to finish this book. This book is a systematic scientific monograph which integrates the achievements of pear research in China.
