This study investigates the genetic regulation of volatile production in melons, identifying over 1000 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting aroma and r
Melon aroma greatly influences consumer preference and fruit quality. Climacteric melons produce more esters, while non-climacteric melons have more aldehydes. Understanding these genetic differences is crucial for breeding better melons. Although genes involved in volatile organic compound (VOC) biosynthesis have been identified, a comprehensive genetic map is still missing. In-depth research is needed to uncover the genetic basis of melon aroma and ripening behavior.
