Abstract:

The fruit shaping is regulated by multiple genes，and gene families such as SUN，OVATE，FAS and their gene families play important roles during this process. This paper reviewed the progress of the research on fruit-shaping genes in various plants，such like tomato and other horticultural plants. Fingered citron exhibits finger-shape fruit. Part of the fruit-shaping genes were isolated and identified from fingered citron. This review will give a clue for unraveling the mechanism of the fruit pattern formation in fingered citron.

Key words: fingered citron, fruit shaping, SUN, OVATE, FAS
