Abstract:
Fruit cracking is a widespread physiological disorder encountered in the production of fruits and vegetables，leading to significant economic losses in agricultural production and exerting a long-term negative impact on fruit quality as well as the sales and distribution processes.The formation of fruit cracking results from the combined effects of various factors，with genetic and environmental factors playing a dominant role.Mineral nutrition and plant growth regulators significantly influence the reduction of cracking risks.Cracking phenomena can also occur during the sales and storage processes.Effective regulatory strategies include QTL mapping，rain avoidance and bagging management，rational application of mineral elements and plant growth regulators，and the use of precision agriculture and machine learning technologies.This study summarized the research progress on fruit cracking from the aforementioned aspects，in order to provide a reference for further research and control of fruit cracking.
