脆肉型哈密瓜原产新疆大漠干旱或半干旱地区，种植范围狭窄。经过8年16季南、北生态育种的探索研究，利用多种生态地区的亲本杂交、回交，核辐射诱变以及基因工程等手段结合常规选育，已育出8个哈密瓜改良品种（系）和3个单性花自交系，可在我国潮湿多雨、弱光照的东南部采用大棚有机生态型无土栽培方式种植，为生产无公害绿色食品、"安全甜瓜"开创了美景。

Crisp Hamimelon originated in the arid and semi-arid areas of Xinjaing and its distributive area 8 years (16 growing seasons) exploration and research on the process of south and north ecobreeding with methods of hybridization, back crossing, nuclear radiation inducement and gene engineering combining with ordinary breeding, 8 improved varieties, and 3 self-breeding series of unisexual flower are successfully cultivated from the parents which come from different ecotype areas. They are suitable to the southeast part of China where it is humid, rainy, and weak-illuminated. With these varieties and technology of soilless cultivation of organic ecotype in the green house, the production of pollution-free and safe melon is surely promising.
