Abstract

Abstract:

Melatonin is a plant growth regulator and bio-stimulator,which can regulate plant growth and development,and improve plant stress tolerance. In recent years,the roles of melatonin in fruit development regulation and postharvest preservation have been hot researches. This paper summarizes the content and distribution of melatonin in different fruit. The physiological functions and mechanisms of melatonin in regulating fruit growth and development,promoting postharvest fruit ripening and delaying fruit senescence are emphasized. It points out the shortcomings in the present studies and puts forward suggestion for the future research direction of melatonin,and provides reference for melatonin to be widely used in the regulation of fruit development and preservation.

Key words: fruit, melatonin, development, maturation, postharvest preservation
