Abstract
SummaryTime-course changes of fruit cracking percentage, mechanical properties of pericarp and contents of cell wall components in litchi pericarp were studied by comparing two litchi cultivars differing in cracking susceptibility. Mechanical strength of the pericarp of crack-resistant cv. Huaizhi was greater than that of cracking-susceptible cv. Nuomici. The resistance of `Huaizhi' was also reflected in higher threshold cracking turgor as well as in higher pericarp tensile strength and extensibility. Correspondingly higher contents of calcium and structural components viz. cellulose, hemicellulose and insoluble pectin were found in the pericarp cell walls of `Huaizhi', which might have materially contributed to its higher pericarp strength and thus cracking resistance as compared with `Nuomici'.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal, which publishes original research contributions into the production, improvement and utilisation of horticultural crops. It aims to provide scientific knowledge of interest to those engaged in scientific research and the practice of horticulture. The scope of the journal includes studies on fruit and other perennial crops, vegetables and ornamentals grown in temperate or tropical regions and their use in commercial, amenity or urban horticulture. Papers, including reviews, that give new insights into plant and crop growth, yield, quality and response to the environment, are welcome, including those arising from technological innovation and developments in crop genome sequencing and other biotechnological advances.
