  • Resumen de la tesis:

    Quality in melons (Cucumis melo L.) is an important criterion for consumer’s acceptance. Like any other fruit, melons development and ripening process are linked to a series of biochemical and physiological changes including chlorophyll breakdown, cell wall degradation (leading from flesh to whole fruit softening to changes in ultrastructure), increase in the sugar content and soluble solids content (SSC), pigment biosynthesis, aroma and flavour generation, etc. The goal of the PhD tesis was to determine global quality and aroma profile at least one near-isogenic lines (NILs) of melon with different texture than its non-climacteric parental PS in order to map QTLs associated with fruit quality and particularly aroma volatiles. Using some results of differential gene expression and the genetic map of melon and the sequences stored in GenBank some candidate genes suggested and linked genetic and phenotypic information.

    Keywords: Texture, near-isogenic lines; non-climacteric behavior; QTL mapping; RNAseq.
