中文摘要：

近些年,植物基因组学研究发展迅速,已进入功能基因组研究的新阶段,一些新的技术和方法不断涌现.西瓜、甜瓜和黄瓜是葫芦科重要的经济作物,其功能基因组学研究虽然起步较晚,但也取得了初步成果.综述了近几年植物功能基因组学主要研究方法如表达序列标签（EST）、TILLING技术、DNA芯片和RNA干涉（RNAi）等在西瓜、甜瓜和黄瓜上的应用概况,并展望了未来葫芦科作物功能基因组研究的发展趋势.

英文摘要：

In recent years, the research of plant genomics developed rapidly mad entered a new era of functional genomics. Many new technologies and methods are created constantly. Watermelon, melon and cucumber are important crops of Cucur- bitaceae family. The functional genomics research of cucurbits started relatively late but with good achievement in the last a few years. In this article we review and discuss the application of main plant functional genomics research methods such as express sequence tag （EST）, TILLING technology, DNA microarray and RNA interference （RNAi） in watermelon, melon and cucumber,
