The course of cracking in cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) grown in water culture in a glasshouse in relation to the diurnal changes in fruit size and the rate of solute uptake was investigated.<BR>1. When cracking in 250 fully ripe 'Sun Cherry' was checked hourly during 10 days in July, about 83%of the cracking occurred between 4 : 00 and 10 : 00. <BR>2. Diurnal changes in diameters of fully ripe fruits measured by a laser beam sensor system starting at 0 : 00 and during summer and autumn revealed that in summer, 'Sun Cherry Extra' diameters increased from 3 : 00 to 6 : 00, then decreased from 8 : 00 to 14 : 00, after which it again increased gradually during the daytime but sharply after sunset. A similar trend was observed in the autumun with 'Sun Cherry' but to a lesser extent. A rapid increase in fruit diameter coincided with the time of fruit cracking.<BR>3. The diurnal change in solute flow rates through plants of 'Sun Cherry Extra' was investigated using a sap flow system, the flow in the stem and petioles was always directed distally during the day and night cycle; the flow rates in both tissues were much faster during the day than at night. In contrast, the solute in the peduncles flowed prox-imally during the late morning to evening and distally during the dark period, indicating that solute flow to fruits occurs during the evening and early morning hours.<BR>The results suggest that the rapid expansion of fruit was induced by solute inflow into the fruit during the night to early morning; fruit skin cannot endure the internal pressure, leading to the cracking of the fruit.
