Abstract：CBL genes are very important for plant in response to environmental stress and development. However,the studies on CBL genes in melon have not been reported at pesent.Seven CBL genes in melon ge-nome were identified by comparative genomics method,and their genome distribution,gene structure,phylog-eny and cis -elements were systematically analyzed.The results showed that all these genes distributed on dif-ferent chromosomes respectively and had 8 exons.Their coding seuquence length was from 642 to 738 bp. Their coded proteins all had 3 EF -hands,which could bind calcium ions,and FPSF motif,which interacted with CIPK kinases.What’s more,many different environmental response elements existed in their upstream sequences,which suggested that they might have multiple biological roles.This laid the foundations for further functional elucidation of these genes in melon.
