Ecophysiological models of quality: a challenge for peach and tomato

2006

Bussieres, Philippe | Génard, Michel

Fruit quality at harvest is a complex trait, including size, overall flavour (tasteand texture) and visual attractiveness (colour, shape), which depend on bothgenotype and environment. The improvement of fresh product quality is sloweddown by this complexity. It is expected that the development of process-basedmodels and their integration in ecophysiological models should facilitate qualitymanagement, provided that integration properly accounts for interactions amongbiological processes. Here we describe some process-based models developed onpeach and tomato fruits, which predict final fruit size and composition in primarycompounds. Perspectives of integration of such models are discussed.
