This paper systematically expounds the research status on Cucurbita breeding，including
breeding of new variety，quality breeding，resistance breeding，agronomic characters breeding，and molecular
breeding of Cucurbita，about germplasm genetic relationship，genetic map construction，gene mapping of quality
and quantity traits，and gene clone all over the world．Meanwhile，the paper also puts up problems existing in Cucurbita breeding，and then prospected the future development of Cucurbita breeding.
