Background: Due to its highly perishable nature and less shelf life, postharvest losses of fruits result in a high gap between production
and availability. Various plant traits which need to be genetically modified for higher shelf life include lowered respiration and ethylene
production, less sensitivity to ethylene, lowering ripening rates, reduced browning, decreased chilling sensitivity and increased
postharvest disease resistance.
Methods: The importance of understanding the biochemical process of softening and the use of such information for retarding the
ripening process has been demonstrated in this paper.
Result: After reviewing the development made in extending the shelf life of fruits, it becomes evident that although success in this
field has been inadequate, there are possibilities that fruit breeders will succeed in the near future in evolving superior cultivars with
longer shelf life by adopting conventional and biotechnological approaches.
