正如达尔文所观察到的，许多被子植物的胚胎发育与子房发育成特殊的器官（果实）同时发生，果实为种子成熟提供了合适的环境，并且通常是成熟种子传播的机制。尽管对具有农业价值的水果进行了数百年的密集遗传选择，但我们仍然缺乏关于水果如何发育、这种发育如何与胚胎发育和种子形成协调以及控制水果生长和分化的分子、细胞和生理事件的大部分信息。过去 10 年，有关水果发育的一个重要商业方面的信息迅速激增，即水果成熟，包括成熟阶段时间事件的遗传控制（Theologis，1992；Theologis 等，1992）。然而，在坐果和生长的时间和空间控制方面取得的进展较少，尽管从农业的角度来看，这些方面同样至关重要。我们将提供关于分子、细胞和生理机制的观点，这些机制必须被视为水果发育过程的组成部分。下面的讨论将说明果实发育是一个潜在有用的系统，可以帮助我们更多地了解控制植物细胞分裂、生长和分化的复杂调控机制。
Embryonic development in many angiosperms occurs concomitantly with the development of the ovary into a specialized organ, the fruit, which provides a suitable environment for seed maturation and often a mechanism for the dispersa1 of mature seeds, as Darwin observed. Despite centuries of intensive genetic selection of agriculturally valuable fruit, we still lack most information about how fruits develop, how this development is coordinated with embryonic development and seed formation, and the molecular, cellular, and physiological events that control fruit growth and differentiation. The last 10 years have seen a rapid surge of information on one commercially important aspect of fruit development, fruit ripening, including the genetic control of temporal events during the ripening phase (Theologis, 1992; Theologis et al., 1992). However, fewer advances have been made on temporal and spatial controls of fruit set and growth, although from the agricultura1 point of view, these aspects are of equally critical importance. We will provide a perspective on the molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms that must be considered as integral parts of the fruit developmental process. The discussion below will illustrate that fruit development is a potentially useful system to learn more about complex regulatory mechanisms that control the division, growth, and differentiation of plant cells.
