[Objective] Grape is an important cash crop in China, and aroma is an important component of grape fruit quality. Grape aroma is complex and composed of a variety of compounds, including terpenes, volatile aliphatic compounds, aromatic compounds, pyrazines and sulfur-containing compounds. At the same time, it is affected by multiple factors. Genetics is the main factor affecting its aroma distribution. Therefore, the analysis of grape aroma genetic model is the basis of achieving breeding goals. [Reviews] Based on the review of grape aroma measurement methods, this paper summarized and analyzed the genetic rules of grape aroma traits and QTL mapping of grape aroma traits. [Prospect]This paper in order to lay a theoretical support for the analysis of grape aroma genetic rules in the future and provide a reference for grape aroma traits directional breeding.
