The respiration rate, the weight change of single fruit during growth development and the losing water of postharvest of fruit were studied. The results showed that the curve of fruit growth development was a double sigmoid characteristic. When the surface colour of fruit changed form jade-green to alizarin crimson, the respiration rate tended to fall during a entire growth development of fruit, which showed a fluctuation phenomenon. The respiration rate descended when the surface color changed from coloring to baby red, but after a crimson stage the respiration rate recurred to its original downtrend. With increasing of single fruit weight, phenomenon of respiration climacteric has not happened and the respiration rate curve showed a concavity characteristic at some stages. As a result, there was not a phenomenon of respiration climacteric with a double sigmoid growth development curve characteristic of fruit.展开更多
