Background: Grape is an economically valuable fruit around the world. However, some cultivars are prone to fruit cracking during ripening, leading to severe losses. Objective: We aimed to find important metabolisms related to fruit cracking during ripening process. Methods: RNA-Sequence and analysis was applied to the pericarp of cracking-susceptible ‘Xiang Fei’ at 1 (W1), 2 (W2) and 3 weeks (W3) after veraison on Illumina HiSeq xten; Results: Compared with W1, the berry cracking rate increased significantly in W2 and W3. Through transcriptom...
