Research Review and Prospect of Litchi Fruit Cracking by Xiwen LI, Haoshuang SUN, Xuequn PANG, Zhaoqi ZHANG

“…., and the research progress in its physiology and molecular biology including pulp TSS, calcium content, cell wall components and their associated enzymes. The review points out that although there are great differences in the susceptibility of fruit cracking among different litchi varieties, so far, we have not been able to identify the key enzymes or major genes related to fruit cracking; compared with other fruits, litchi fruit cracking has a certain degree of specificity, which is manifested in that litchi fruit cracking peaks at the stage from the green fruit stage to the color turning stage, and that the fruits always crack along the suture line with the pulp remaining intact. …”
