Changes in characteristic aroma volatiles, levels of fatty acids as aroma precursors, and expression patterns of related genes, including lipoxygenase (LOX), hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), alcohol acyltransferase (AAT), and fatty acid desaturase (FAD), were studied in peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch., cv. Yulu) fruit during postharvest ripening at 20 °C. Concentrations ofn-hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, (E)-2-hexenol, and (Z)-3-hexenol decreased, whereas the production of (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, γ-hexalactone, γ-octalactone, γ-decalactone, and δ-decalactone increased with fruit ripening. Lactones showed a clear pattern concomitant with the climacteric rise in ethylene production, with γ-decalactone being the principal volatile compound at the late ripening stage. Of the LOX family genes,PpLOX2andPpLOX3had relatively high transcript levels initially followed by a decline with fruit ripening, while levels ofPpLOX1andPpLOX4transcripts were upregulated by accumulated ethylene production. Expression ofPpHPL1,PpADH1,PpADH2, andPpADH3showed similar decreasing patterns during ripening. Expression levels ofPpAAT1showed a rapid increase during the first 2 days of postharvest ripening followed by a gradual decrease. Contents of polyunsaturated linoleic and linolenic acids increased, and saturated palmitic acid levels tended to decline as the fruit ripened. The increased levels of unsaturated fatty acids closely paralleled increasing expression ofPpFAD1andPpFAD2. The significance of gene expression changes in relation to aroma volatile production is discussed.
