Abstract Fruit shape is one of the most important quality traits of vegetable crops. It is also oneof the main indexes of classification for germplasm resources and sensory evaluation for consumers. Fruit shape is a complicated quantitative characteristic of genetic mechanism. It is relatively difficult to carry
studies on its genetics. This paper summarized the methods of studying fruit shape genetics, growth and development types, and present status of studying fruit shapes of major vegetable crops. It also prospected the future of this kind of study.
