TPS-b family genes involved in signature aroma terpenes emission in ripe kiwifruit.

Abstract excerpt

Aroma is a critical factor influencing consumer acceptability of ripe fruit. When fruit are eaten, the aroma travels retronasally from the mouth into the olfactory receptors located in the nose after exhaling. In kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.), terpene volatiles such as α-terpinolene and 1,8-cineole have been shown to contribute to the characteristic aroma of ripe fruit. Notably, 1,8-cineole contributes a key...
