This paper reviewed the recent research results of somatic embryogenesis in Cucurbitaceae plants. Somatic embryogenesis is controlled by many factors such as genotype, explant type, seedling age, basal culture medium, carbohydrate, nitrogen, growth regulators, additives and illumination et al.. Abnormality, desynchrony and browning are the main problem existing in Cucurbitaceae somatic embryogenesis. Then some ideas on how to obtain high quality somatic embryo are given.
