I'd have thought a common gene for such diverse flavours to be very 
unlikely. I find mayo quite acceptable, if rather bland. Cilantro 
(called coriander elsewhere) has a taste which I'm not keen on. I'll 
tolerate it, but I'd rather it isn't there as it tends to overpower any 
other flavour in a dish. I do like coriander seeds, though.
