© 2017, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany. Key message: The gene conferring a “pandan-like” aroma of winter melon was identified. The sequence variation (804-bp deletion) found in the gene was used as the target for functional marker development. Abstract: Winter melon (Benincasa hispida), a member of th...
