Abstract
Environmental factors play critical role in determining growth and development of fruits. This phenomenon has been known for quite a while, and endeavors have been made worldwide to examine the connections and create relapse conditions and models to foresee plant profitability. These activities are continuing today, and some of the more recent efforts are presented in this review. This review provides comprehensive information on different climatic factors including light, temperature, humidity and atmospheric gases influencing physio-morphological characteristics of fruits.
