Pumpkin seeds are rich in nutrition value and has higher healthy function．The scale of seedused
pumpkin industry in China has expanded year by year．But at present the germplasm resources creation
and new variety breeding of seed-used pumpkin are waiting for further systematic study．The paper expounded
the evaluation and identifi cation of seed-used pumpkin germplasm resources and genetic diversity research，and
genetic localization and regulation of important agronomic characters，including yield，disease resistance，
seed coat color，nutrient content of seed-used pumpkin．Meanwhile，the paper prospected the research
directions for seed-used pumpkin，so as to provide certain theoretical reference for germplasm creation and
breeding of new varieties．
