Why does the durian stink? Scientists unravel smelly fruit's DNA
10 October 2017
Once described by a detractor as smelling of “turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock”, southeast Asia’s durian fruit leaves no one unmoved – you either adore or abhor it.
Popular in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, the spiny, stinky delicacy is banned from public transport and many hotels because of its strong smell.
Yet for a food so controversial, very little was known about the durian’s genetic makeup until now.

On Monday, scientists from Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia published the DNA blueprint of the common durian, Durio zibethinus, laying bare the genes responsible for its unique traits.
Such data “is vital to better understanding of durian biodiversity”, the team wrote in the journal Nature Genetics.
