This study summarizes the latest progress in grape fruit quality improvement breeding, compares the advantages and disadvantages of traditional breeding and molecular breeding, and introduces the application of QTL mapping, genome-wide association study (GWAS), genomic selection (GS), and gene editing in the research and improvement of quality traits. It also discusses the relationship among yield, quality, and stress resistance. And it was proposed that in the future, molecular design strategies should be combined with multi-omics integration, climate-adaptive breeding and consumer demand-driven approaches. This research aims to provide theoretical references and technical support for the precise improvement of grape quality and the sustainable development of the industry.
