Abstract In this study，tartronic acid contents of 56 accessions of different types of cucumber（Cucumis sativus L.）were tested by method of HPLC．The results showed that there were obvious variances of tartronic acid content between different varieties and types of cucumber germplasm，swinging in the range of 1.77-10.22 g•kg-1．Five accessions had more than 7.54 g•kg-1 content and 5 accessions had less than 2.55 g•kg-1 content of tartronic acid．
