“…The introgressions from SC into PS not only provoked changes in the aroma profile, but also a light yellow to orange flesh in the NILs other than 5M2 or 5M7 (white to very light yellow flesh), and particularly in 5M4 (data not shown). The carotenoids present in the climacteric NILs were probably xantophylls and β-carotene (Watanabe et al 1991;M.J. Rodrigo, personal communication, 2007).…”

A near-isogenic line (NIL) SC3-5 and other nine NILs of melon contained introgressions of an exotic non-climacteric accession of Cucumis melo ´Shongwan Charmi´ [SC (PI 161375), Conomon Group)] into the non-climacteric Spanish Inodorus type of melon cultivar Piel de Sapo (PS). The NILs exhibited different climacteric behavior and aroma.Fruit from SC3-5 and seven NILs showed a climacteric pattern, while fruit from one NIL, both parentals and the cultivar Nicolás, were non-climacteric. The NILs were compared with the reference aromatic cultivars Fado and Védrantais, which show climacteric behavior with high levels of respiration and ethylene production. The twenty-eight aromatic compounds common to the cultivars and NILs studied defined the aroma profile, which was composed of fifteen esters, six aldehydes, two alcohols, three derived sulfur compounds (methyldisulfanylmethane; methanethiolate; methyl 2-sulfanylacetate) and other three compounds (1,7,7-trimethylnorbornan-2-one; acetone; 2-ethylfuran). On the basis of the total ion count peak area, three compounds (isobutyl acetate; benzyl acetate; pentanal) allowed the climacteric to be distinguished from the non-climacteric NILs according to univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis of the aroma data on the basis of total ion count peak area separated the aromatic attributes of the climacteric ´Védrantais´ and ´Fado´ melons from the NILs that were closer to their inbred parentals when analyzed by partial least squares regression plus discriminant analysis. In the climacteric reference cultivars or NILs, esters were the predominant volatiles while aldehydes predominated in non-climacteric ones. These results support the hypothesis that at least one QTL in linkage group III boosts a series of maturation signals that are characteristic of climacteric fruit, including a different aroma profile.

“…Among the important melon quality traits for consumer, the flesh color . Generally, the basic and distinctive observed melon flesh colors are orange, light-orange or pink, green, and white (Watanabe et al, 1991;Goldman, 2002).…”

“…In orange-fleshed melons, the principal pigmentsare are: β-carotene (84.7%), δ-carotene (6.8%), α-carotene (1.2%), phytofluene (2.4%), phytoene (1.5%), lutein (1.0%), violaxanthin (0.9%) and traces of other carotenoids (Seymour and McGlasson, 1993). 9 different melon cultivars from the 4 basic and distinctive flesh colors were evaluated (Watanabe et al, 1991). The orange-fleshed melon cultivars 'Iroquois', 'Blenheim Orange', 'Birdie Red', 'Quincy' and 'Tiffany' contained β-carotene concentrations about 9.2 to 18.0-μg/g as the important pigment, a small amount of phytofluene, α-carotene, ζ-carotene and xanthophylls.…”

“…En lo relacionado al color de la pulpa, éste es un rasgo independiente de la liberación de etileno (Flores, Romojaro, Ben Amor, Pech, & Latché, 2001a), y consiste en una combinación de pigmentos, clorofilas y carotenoides, que dan como resultado una diversidad de color blanco, verde y naranja, con distintas tonalidales o intensidades de color debido fundamentalmente al contenido en beta-carotenos Cuevas, Staub, Simon, & Zalapa, 2009;Gur, et al, 2017b;Rodrigo, et al, 2008;Watanabe, Saito, Hirota, Takahashi, & Fujishita, 1991). El color de la pulpa está controlado principalmente por dos genes: gf (green flesh) (Hughes, 1948) y wf (white flesh) (Iman, Abo-Bakr & Hanna, 1972) situados en los cromosomas 8 y 9 respectivamente, que actúan epistáticamente .…”
