“…Research on the mechanism of fruit cracking has informed appropriate management strategies for preventing and controlling fruit cracking, which mainly include rain cover protection ( Overbeck, Schmitz, & Blanke, 2017 ), mineral spraying ( Kafle, Khot, Zhou, Bahlol, & Si, 2016 , Knoche et al, 2014 ), and the application of growth regulators ( Suran, Vavra, & Zeleny, 2016 ). Among these management strategies, the application of calcium solution has been extensively studied ( Kafle, Khot, Zhou, Bahlol, & Si, 2016 , Knoche et al, 2014 ).…”

BACKGROUND Cherry fruit cracking is a costly problem for cherry growers. The effect of repeated sprayings (gibberellic acid – GA3; abscisic acid – ABA; salicylic acid – SA; glycine betaine – GB, and Ascophyllum nodosum – AN) combined with CaCl2, on ‘Sweetheart’ cherry fruit‐cracking characteristics was investigated. Cracking was quantified in terms of cracking incidence, crack morphology, confocal scanning laser microscopy, cuticular wax content, cell‐wall modification, and cuticular wax gene expression. RESULTS All spray treatments reduced cracking compared with an untreated control (H2O), with fewer cheek cracks. The least cracking incidence was observed for ABA + CaCl2‐ and GB + CaCl2‐treated fruits, indicating an added benefit compared to spraying with CaCl2 alone. In addition, GB + CaCl2‐treated fruits showed higher fruit diameter. ABA + CaCl2 and GB + CaCl2 sprays showed higher wax content and higher cuticle and epidermal thickness compared with the control, including increased expression of wax synthase (ABA + CaCl2) and expansin 1 (GB + CaCl2). CONCLUSION In general, factors that improve the cuticle thickness appear to be important at the fruit‐coloring stage. At the fruit‐ripening stage, larger cell sizes of the epidermis, hypodermis, and parenchyma cells lower cracking incidence, indicating the importance of flexibility and elasticity of the epidermis. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

“…It was also observed that cracking of 'Fucuimi' fruit that underwent spraying treatment with GA 3 (15 mg/L) was also lowered compared to the control [2]. Similarly, exogenous GA 3 treatment decreased the rain-induced cracking rate of the 'Justyna', 'Tamara' and 'Regina' cherry varieties by 9%-11% [67]. Spraying a mixture of GA 3 (40 ppm), calcium hydroxide, zinc sulfate and boron (50 ppm) minimized the incidence of cracking on pomegranate young fruits [38].…”

“…Changed levels of endogenous GA have long been associated with cracking in many fruit species [28,41,67,68]. As early as 1986, Sharma and Dhillon investigated the relationship between the endogenous GA level and cracking of litchi fruit and observed that GA content in the seed and pericarp of litchi is higher in cracked fruits than in non-cracked 'Dehradun' litchi [14].…”

Fruit cracking or splitting is a severe physiological disease that significantly affects appearance and quality, compromising the commodity value of fruit and causing substantial economic losses to the producers of several fleshy fruit crops. The growth-promoting plant hormone gibberellins (GAs) and growth-inhibiting abscisic acid (ABA) antagonistically regulate numerous processes throughout the plant life cycle. The homeostasis of GA and ABA plays a significant role in the normal growth and development of fruits, and the imbalance of them may lead to the occurrence of cracking or splitting during the process of fruit growth, development, ripening and postharvest storage. The pathways of GA and ABA metabolism and signaling have been studied widely, and the major components are well characterized, including the genes encoding major biosynthesis and catabolism enzymes and the key signaling components. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the mechanisms of GA and ABA governing fruit cracking is not comprehensive enough. In this review, we summarize the advances in understanding the effects of endogenous GAs and ABA contents in fruits and exogenous GAs and ABA treatments on fruit cracking, and we endeavor to provide some genetic cues on the function of GAs and ABA responsible for fruit cracking modulation. The progress in understanding the molecular bases underlying the actions of GAs and ABA in fruit cracking coordination control will facilitate breeding strategies of cracking-resistant ideotypes of fruits, and also carry great theoretical significance in guiding the establishment of integrated prevention and control measures in fruit cracking.
