Özet: Texture changes in ripening fruits influence consumer preference, fruit storability, transportability, shelf-life, and response to pathogen attack.Genetic regulatory factors as well as environmental conditions simultaneously affect texture changes in ripening fruit. In recent years, thefactors that cause softening have been better understood and efforts are being made to remove these factors or slow down their effect throughimproved biotechnology and genetics. In this review, enzymes involved in cell wall modifications or regulation, and the effects of ethylenehormone which has a big effect on fruit texture are discussed.
