Plums (Prunus salicina Lindl.) are nutritious stonefruit, grown
in cool subtropical to temperate regions throughout the world.
Japanese plums are mainly consumed as fresh fruit, while European
types are popular for processing. The diversity in the
available cultivars, wide area of distribution, and adaptability
to varying climatic conditions make it an important stonefruit
throughout the world (Singh and Khan, 2010). It has been reported
that plum growth parameters (volume and polar, suture and
cheek diameters, and fruit weight) follow a double sigmoid
pattern, which is typical for Prunus species (Valero and Serrano,
2010). Four distinct stages (S1–S4) could be established in this
curve: S1 is the first exponential growth phase and characterised
by cell division and elongation, S2 shows little or no
fruit growth but the endocarp hardens to form a solid stone,
S3 is the second exponential growth phase due to cell enlargement,
while in S4 the fruit ripening or climacteric stage occurs
