Abstract：In recent years, great progress has been made in greenhouse vegetable industry in China. The areas of greenhouse agriculture increased by 10 % every year and different types of greenhouse facilities, production modes and technical systems based on characteristics of certain specific districts were developed. This paper analyzed the characteristics of the progress made in greenhouse vegetable industry during the past 5 years in China. We summarized the key research accomplishments and development in greenhouse facility, biological and functional genomics of vegetable science, nursery technology of greenhouse vegetable, high efficient usage of resources, overcoming of soil sickness, mechanism and regulation of stress tolerance, and system establishment for high quality and safety production. We also analyzed the major problems existing in greenhouse vegetable production and discussed about the future trend for industry development and research activities.
