Research Process on Peach Fruit Ripening and Softening in Molecular Biology

In the peach,fruit ripening and softening is a complex process concerning growth and regulation which is accompanied by a series of changes in physiological and biochemical attributes,including the degradation of cell wall,ethylene evolution and other metabolic change. Research advances on fruit ripening and softening in molecular biology was discussed. The related enzyme of cell wall and ethylene in fruit ripening and softening were reviewed. The results showed that the courses of fruit ripening and softening are influenced by many genes. The discussion on the mechanism of fruit ripening and softening will provide the theoretical foundation for the storage and freshness and processing of fruit.
