Abstract: ROS is produced along the fruit development, which often damages proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and DNA, causing severe cell membrane damage and inducing programmed cell death. But moderate oxidative stress is conducive to fruit ripening. The physiological mechanism of ROS affecting the fruit ripening, the interaction mechanism of ROS and hormones regulating fruit ripening, the molecular mechanism of ROS directly regulating the fruit ripening, the cooperative interaction of ROS and calcium ions regulating postharvest fruit ripening were summarized, to provide a theoretical basis and reference for employing ROS to regulate fruit ripening directly or indirectly.

Key words: reactive oxygen species, fruit, development, ripening
