Abstract
Rain cracking of soft, fleshy fruits is thought to result from excessive water uptake through the wetted fruit surface and also through the vascular systems of the fruit pedicel. Significant new information has become available in recent years, particularly for sweet cherries and grapes. This information is reviewed with a particular focus on the mechanisms and pathways of water ingress and egress through the fruit skin and the vasculature of the fruit pedicel. The pathways of water movement through the cuticle, stomata, and lenticels are described in detail. The presence of cuticular microcracking on the fruit surface, and also of tiny areas of periderm that form in the scars created by floral part abscission (sepals, petals, anthers, styles), are discussed in relationship to their significant influences on overall fruit water balance.
