Melon fruits are popular because of sweet taste and pleasant aroma. Grafting has been extensively used for melons to alleviate abiotic stresses and control soil borne diseases. However, use of grafting for vegetable fruit quality improvement is less studies. In modern age fruit quality particularly sensory quality characteristics have key importance from consumer eye lens. We performed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and metabonomic analysis to examine sensory fruit quality of melon grafted onto ten different pumpkin rootstocks. Bases on the result of our study, 478 metabolites were detected and 184 metabolites consisting of lipids, amino acids and organic oxygen compounds were differentially expressed in grafted melon fruits. The results from metabolomic, physiochemical and sensory analysis explain the differences in melon fruit flavor from two con-trasting rootstocks. In conclusion the fruits from Tianzhen No. 1 rootstock exhibited better organoleptic char-acteristics and higher soluble sugars content [glucose (19.87 mg/g), fructose (19.68 mg/g) and sucrose (169.45 mg/g)] compared with other rootstocks used in this study. Moreover, the contents of bitterness causing amino acids such as L-arginine, L-asparagine, Histidinyl-histidine and Acetyl-DL-valine were found lower in Tianzhen No. 1-grafted melon fruits compared with Sizhuang No. 12-grafted melon fruits. These fruit quality character-istics made Tianzhen No. 1 rootstock suitable for commercial cultivation of Yuniang melon.
