Abstract:

This article narrated the effects of high temperature on seed germination, growth and development, reproductive growth, respiration and photosynthesis, membrane thermal stability and antioxidant system, protein content, endogenous hormone content, etc. of melon crops. And it reviewed the identification and research progress of heat tolerance related genes, as well as the technical measures to improve the heat tolerance of melon crops. Based on a comprehensive understanding of previous research on high temperature stress in melons, the author believes that there is currently a lack of efficient, accurate, and standardized heat tolerance assessment techniques and genetic resources in this field, as well as insufficient research depth. It’s predicted that the future research direction of heat tolerance in melon crops will focus on the collection and screening of heat tolerance germplasm resources, the construction of accurate evaluation technology systems, the mining of heat tolerance gene resources, and the analysis of heat tolerance regulation molecular networks.

Key words: melon crops, high temperature stress, molecular mechanisms, heat tolerance, phenotype, heat shock protein, gene resources
