主　　题：Cuticular wax Structure and function Postharvest Fruit quality 

摘      要：Cuticular wax plays a major role in the growth and storage of plant *** cuticular wax coating,which covers the outermost layer of a fruit’s epidermal cells,is insoluble in *** wax is mainly composed of very long-chain fatty acids(VLCFAs);their derivatives,including esters,primary alcohols,secondary alcohols,aldehydes,and ketones;and *** complex mixture of lipids is probably biosynthesized in the epidermal cells of most plants and exuded onto the *** wax not only makes the fruit less susceptible to microbial infection but also reduces mechanical damage to the fruit,thereby maintaining the fruit’s commodity *** date,research has mostly focused on the changes,function,and regulation of fruit wax before harvest,while ignoring the changes and functions of wax in fruit *** paper reviews on the composition,structure,and metabolic regulation of cuticular wax in *** also focuses on postharvest factors affecting wax composition,such as storage temperature,relative humidity(RH),gas atmosphere,and as exogenous hormones;and the effects of wax on fruit postharvest quality,including water dispersion,fruit softening,physiological disorders,and disease *** summaries may be of assistance in better understanding the changes in cuticular wax in postharvest fruit and the resulting effects on fruit quality.
