A matter of smell: The complex regulation of aroma production in melon

Melon fruit flavor is one of the most valuable traits for consumers. Aroma, formed by volatile organic compounds (VOCs), is a major component of flavor but has been neglected in breeding programs because of its complex regulation. Although the genetic regulation of VOCs biosynthesis is not fully und...
