Abstract: Jujube fruit cracking has become a major concern in jujube production. It can affect fruit quality and yield and crop productivity, resulting in significant economic loss. Recent advances in jujube fruit cracking research provide opportunities to improve our understanding of the impacts of environmental factors and plant physiological metabolism on jujube fruit cracking. In this article, we have developed a novel systemic modeling software for jujube fruit cracking. The potential function and value of this modeling software are presented. Current issues and future research directions in the modeling of jujube fruit cracking system are also discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first functional and/or integrated modeling software developed for the management of jujube fruit cracking.
Keywords: Modeling Software, Jujube Fruit Cracking System, Circadian Clock, Metabolic Pathway Modeling
