Abstract：The colour values of leaf, flower, fruit sarcocarp by CR-3 colorimeter and the soluble solids content (SSC) of fruit sarcocarp by the PAL-1 digital display sugar meter were measured for 14 pumpkin cultivars respectively in this experiment. The correlation between colour values of leaf, flower, fruit sarcocarp and SSC of fruit sarcocarp were analyzed. The results showed that there were differences between the coefficient of variation of leaf, flower, fruit sarcocarp colour values, and fruit sarcocarp redness in the coefficient of variation was the largest (CV=27.43%). SSC of fruit sarcocarp was highly significantly positive correlated (P<0.01, r=0.632 ) with brightness of leaf, and it was significantly positive correlated (P<0.05, r=0.412 ) with its redness. This Results provided a convenient method to screen high SSC of fruit sarcocarp in the filed for pumpkin quality breeding.
