“…Conversely, the fruits of the woody (i.e. tree and vine) species showed lower RGRs, in agreement with published data, for example, for pear, in which RGRs of ~6% day –1 were recorded at 40 days after flowering ( Shiratake et al , 1997 ), or cherry fruit, with 20% day –1 at 69–95 days between anthesis and maturity ( Gibeaut et al , 2017 ). Woody species also showed much longer growth periods.…”

To understand the mechanisms that link metabolism to phenotypes, which would help to target breeding strategies, eight fleshy fruit species were compared during development and ripening. Three herbaceous (eggplant, pepper, cucumber), three tree (apple, peach, clementine) and two vine (kiwifruit, grape) species were selected for their diversity. Fruit fresh weight and biomass composition including the major soluble and insoluble components were determined throughout fruit development and ripening. Best fitting models of fruit weight were used to estimate relative growth rate (RGR), which was significantly correlated with several biomass components, especially protein content (R=84) stearate (R=0.72), palmitate (R=0.72) and lignocerate (R=0.68). Moreover, the strong link between biomass composition and RGR was further evidenced by generalised linear models that predicted RGR with R-values exceeding 0.9. Fruit comparison also showed that climacteric fruit (apple, peach, kiwifruit) contained more non-cellulosic cell-wall-glucose and -fucose and starch than non-climacteric fruit. The rate of starch net accumulation was also higher in climacteric fruit. These results suggest that the way biomass is constructed has a major influence on performance, especially growth rate.

“…In the first phase (stage I), the ovary either aborts or starts all the subsequent morphological changes that will lead to the formation of the fruit [45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. The traditional definition of phase I, beginning at anthesis, also includes the acceleration of the growth of the ovary approximately two weeks before anthesis [52]. The outer epidermis of the developing cherry fruit consists of a single row of cells that are covered externally by a cuticle, which is interrupted only where the stomata are present (see Section 4).…”

Fruits are an important source of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the human diet. They also contain several compounds of nutraceutical importance that have significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles, which can protect the consumer from diseases, such as cancer, and cardiovascular disease as well as having roles in reducing the build-up of LDL-cholesterol in blood plasma and generally reduce the risks of disease and age-related decline in health. Cherries contain high concentrations of bioactive compounds and minerals, including calcium, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium, and it is, therefore, unsurprising that cherry consumption has a positive impact on health. This review highlights the development of sweet cherry fruit, the health benefits of cherry consumption, and the options for increasing consumer acceptance and consumption.

“…As a first approximation, a growth curve was plotted for both cultivars (Figure S1) to verify whether these genotypes differed in the second-phase duration, which is associated with the maturity timing phenotype. 35 The fruits of the Glenred cultivar reached full ripeness at 58 days after full bloom (DAFB), whereas the fruits of the Lapins cultivar reached the ripened stage at 73 DAFB. Additionally, an index of absorbance difference (IAD) curve was plotted for both cultivars (Figure 1A,B) as well as for maturity indexes (firmness, % SSC, % MA) at harvest (Table S9).…”

Color acquisition is one of the most distinctive features of fruit development and ripening processes. The color red is closely related to the accumulation of polyphenolic compounds, mainly anthocyanins, during sweet cherry fruit maturity. In nonclimacteric fruit species like sweet cherry, the maturity process is mainly controlled by the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), though other hormones may also play a role. However, the coordinated stage-specific production of polyphenolic compounds and their relation with hormone content variations have not been studied in depth in sweet cherry fruits. To further understand the accumulation dynamics of these compounds (hormones and metabolites) during fruit development, two sweet cherry cultivars ("Lapins" and "Glenred") with contrasting maturity timing phenotypes were analyzed using targeted metabolic analysis. The ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) approach revealed that phenolic acids, flavonols, and flavan-3-ols accumulated mainly until the straw-yellow stage in the early-maturing cultivar, while accumulation was mainly at the green stage in the mid-maturing cultivar, suggesting a cultivar-dependent stage-specific production of secondary metabolites. In the mid-maturing cultivar, anthocyanins were detected only from the red stage onward, whereas detection began at the pink stage in the early-maturing cultivar. ABA negatively correlated (p-value < 0.05) with the flavonols and flavan-3-ols in both cultivars. ABA and anthocyanin content increased at the same time in the early-season cultivar. In contrast, anthocyanins accumulated and the pink color initiation started several days after the ABA increase in the mid-maturing cultivar. Differential accumulation patterns of GA 4 , a ripening antagonizing hormone, between the cultivars could explain this difference. These results showed that both red-colored cultivars presented different accumulation dynamics of phenolic compounds and plant hormones during fruit development, suggesting underlying differences in the sweet cherry fruit color evolution.
