Abstract: Embryo diapause was an importance factors which affecting mink farming, researchers had made a great deal of studies. In this presentation we addressed the characteristics of the embryo in diapause, analyzed the factors of embryo diapause and focused on the mechaminsms of regulation of this phenomenon, including the environmental stimuli that induced and terminated this condition, the hormonal regulatory pathways, and the phenomenon of cell cycle arrest and reactivation, overcome the embryonic diapause and shorten pregnancy period. On these bases, the existing problems and further research directions were pointed out and provided scientific ideas for further research on the mink embryo implantation in the future.

Key words: mink; embryo diapause; influencing factors
