Abstract：Taking 3 stable inbred-lines of melon（Cucumis melon L.）as experimental material, we studied the effects of different male-flower picking time and storage temperature on their pollen viabilities. The results indicated that the pollen viabilities of 3 melon cultivars were the best at 8：00 am and then decreased gradually as time extended. Under low temperature of 4 ℃, the pollen viability could maintain in good condition and as time flew, it also drop down. But pollen viabilities and retaining times of different melon cultivars were different.
