摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for selecting a species of dried persimmon oriental melon which is a Korean native species from a cultivated oriental melon species including a specific volatile substance derived from oriental melon, and to a method for selecting a species of dried persimmon oriental melon which is a Korean native species from a cultivated oriental melon species, which includes a step of isolating a volatile substance from each oriental melon of a mixed sample of a cultivated oriental melon species and a dried persimmon oriental melon species, and comparing the content of a specific volatile substance. The method for selecting species of dried persimmon oriental melon which is a Korean native species can be an extremely useful method by a volatile biomarker efficient in not only species developing and seed producing of oriental melon, but also protecting of a native species of dried persimmon oriental melon valuable as a genetic resource.
