Cucurbit Rootstocks Resistant to Fusarium Wilt of Watermelon Retain Resistance When CoInfected by Southern Root-Knot Nematode
The interspecific hybrid squash (Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata) rootstock ‘Carnivor’ is resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON) but susceptible to Meloidogyne incognita, the southern root-knot nematode. A new citron (Citrullus amarus) rootstock ‘Carolina Strong Back’ is resistant to FON and M. incognita. The objectives of this study were to determine if an […]
Morphological Variability and Phenotypic Association among Pairs of Characters of some Watermelon chlorotic stunt virus Resistant Lines of Citrullus lanatus Thunb.
Twelve lines of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.) with resistance to Watermelon chlorotic stunt virus (WCSV) were morphologically characterized and association among pairs of characteristics was estimated. These watermelon lines were developed at the National Institute for Promotion of Horticultural Exports-University of Gezira-Sudan. Wide differences exist among these lines with respect to vegetative, inflorescence, fruit and […]
