Abstract：In order to study the effect of different grafting methods on gloss，wax powder content of cucumber skin，fruit taste，and the content of volatile metabolic substance，we select cucumber （Cucumis sativus L.）scion（9110Gt，1101，1116，02484，081006） to be grafted on the stock of ‘Cucurbita ficifolia’ and‘ Huofenghuang’，respectively．The results indicated that the effect of cucurbita ficifolia stock on gloss of cucumber fruit skin is not obviously，but can increase wax powder content slightly．While‘Huofenghuang’can increase gloss level and decrease wax powder content remark ably．The effect of cucumber stocks on gloss of fruit skin，wax powder content，fruit taste is not obviously，but the effect is not heritable．In general，different scion/stock combination has different effects on cucumber fruit taste．Both‘Cucurbita ficifolia’and‘Huofenghuang’can bring down fruit taste．The variety and content of volatile metabolic substances are different in different cucumber varieties．‘Cucurbita ficifolia’and‘Huofenghuang’can affect the content of volatile metabolic substance in fruit capsule of cucumber 9110Gt and 1116 by different degree，and the affecting ways and degrees are also different according to scion/stock combinations．
