‘Egusi’ melon ( Colocynthis citrullus L.) plays a critical role in food security and potential biofuel production West Africa. Its seeds are valued for both their nutritional industrial applications, especially biodiesel production. However, the crop faces significant challenges, including impacts of climate change, water scarcity, declining arable land, increased pressure from pests diseases. These challenges threaten stability may hinder its ability to meet future demand. To address these issues, there is growing need complement conventional breeding methods with biotechnological approaches. Molecular approaches; genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics; have been utilized improvement several cucurbit species. information on molecular very limited. The current review focuses melon, biology, uses, factors affecting improvement, highlights knowledge gaps ‘Egusi’. also examines omics technologies outlines importance genetic transformation genome editing such as CRISPR that could drive development more resilient high-yielding ‘Egusi’varieties will contribute sustainability profitability farming.
