Abstract: In order to understand deeply fruit growth and increscent mechanism from cytology point of view. This article makes summary of the latest research on cytology development of fruit growth, and then discusses anatomy change and influential factor of fruit growth. The result indicates that the essence of fruit growth is cell division, cell enlargement, substance accumulation and transformation. The change of fruit anatomical structure shows cell of exocarp, sarcocarp and endocarp division and enlargement. Besides gene limit, fruit cell division and enlargement were limited by hormone, nutrition, temperature, light, water and so on. Fruit size was regulated by cultivation measure and plant growth regulators. Cytology research of fruit growth could provide with the theory basis of production of good fruits quality. Precisely using nutrition and plant growth regulators will be become the main direction of research in the future.
