maturation and ripening
成熟和发育

maturation - 成熟
ripening - 催熟、发育

Ripening is a process in fruits that causes them to become more edible. In general, a fruit becomes sweeter, less green, and softer as it ripens. However the acidity as well as sweetness rises during ripening, but the fruit still tastes sweeter regardless. The reason for this is the Brix-Acid Ratio.

用发育似有不妥!

disagree  clearwater: 发育是前期阶段,而ripening是后期阶段。这里的ripening与maturation是一个意思。
