BACKGROUND Aroma profile and carotenoids content of melon flesh are two important
aspects influencing the quality of this fruit that have been characterized using only selected …

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is highly polymorphic for fruit traits, providing seemingly endless
possibilities for genetic improvement through introgression and recombination. By …

A melon core collection was analyzed for rind volatile compounds as, despite the fact that
they are scarcely studied, these compounds play an important role in consumer preferences …

Cucumis melo fruit is highly valued for its sweet and refreshing flesh, however the flavour
and value are also highly influenced by aroma as dictated by volatile organic compounds …

The sensory and functional quality attributes of muskmelons (Cucumis melo L.), such as
flavor, sweetness, color, and texture, determine consumer preferences. Genetic makeup …

Aroma is an essential trait in melon fruit quality, but its complexity and genetic basis are still
poorly understood. The aim of this study was the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

Flavor is a key attribute defining melon fruit quality and driving consumer preferences. We
characterized and compared fruit ripening patterns (ethylene, respiration), physicochemical …

Abstract Background Melon (Cucumis melo) fruits exhibit phenotypic diversity in several key
quality determinants such as taste, color and aroma. Sucrose, carotenoids and volatiles are …

The importance of melon aroma in determining fruit quality has been highlighted in recent
years. The fruit volatile profile is influenced by the type of fruit ripening. Non-climacteric fruits …

The texture and aroma volatiles of two non-climacteric near-isogenic lines (NILs) of melon
(Cucumis melo L.), SC10-2 and SC7-1, containing introgressions of the Korean cultivar …
