摘要： The application of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) and bee pollination are common artificial pollination practices in the protected cultivation of melon. Compared with the CPPU treatment, bee pollination significantly increases fruit quality. In this study, the effects of these two pollination methods on melon fruit growth dynamics and quality were compared. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS–SPME–GC–MS) were employed to analyse the sugar content and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in mature fruits. The results showed that bumblebee-pollinated melons initially grew faster (0–9 days after anthesis) but were subsequently surpassed by CPPU-treated fruits until maturity. At maturity, the CPPU-treated melons had slightly greater fruit weight and flesh thickness, whereas the bumblebee-pollinated melons displayed a higher fruit set rate, a more uniform fruit shape, a greater seed count and denser rind netting. Compared with CPPU-treated fruits, bumblebee-pollinated melons contained higher sucrose levels but lower fructose and glucose levels. VOC profiling revealed that alcohols, aldehydes, and esters dominated the volatile profiles in both groups, but the total VOC content in bumblebee-pollinated melon flesh was 1.9 times greater than that in CPPU-treated melons. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) analysis indicated significant differences in VOC composition between the two pollination methods. Orthogonal partial least squares–discriminant analysis (OPLS–DA) identified five discriminant VOCs: 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2-nonanol, 1-nonanol, 6-nonen-1-ol, and 3,6-(E, Z)-nonadien-1-ol. These findings demonstrate that bumblebee pollination significantly improves the fruit appearance, flesh sweetness, and aroma of protected-cultivation melons and should be actively promoted as a sustainable alternative to CPPU application.
