Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:64-65 (article 32) 1983 B. B. Rhodes and Stephen L. Love Clemson University, Edisto Experiment Station, Blackville, SC 29817 Citrullus lanatus PI 299379 and PI 189225 and Citrullus colocynthis ‘R309’ show delayed germination. Since these three genotypes have shown resistance to race 2 anthracnose, we have been particularly interested in germination because poor germination […]

The Relationship Between Fruit Lesions and Foliage Destruction of Watermelon Biotypes Inoculated with Race 2 Anthracnose
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:62-63 (article 31) 1983 B. B. Rhodes Clemson University, Edisto Experiment Station, Blackville, SC 29817 This study was undertaken to determine whether resistant biotypes (1), have fewer fruit lesions than susceptible cultivars and also to determine if spore production was effected on fruit sections from fruit on resistant vines. Seven replications […]
The Importance of Cultural Practices in Materializing Yield Potential in a Tetraploid Watermelon Cultivar
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:59-61 (article 30) 1983 Z. Karchi, H. Nerson, H. S. Paris, M. Edelstein and A. Govers Division of Vegetable Crops, Agricultural Research Organization, Newe Ya’ar Experiment Station, P. O. Haifa, Israel Breeding programs in watermelons are undertaken to improve one or more characteristics. Sometimes the process results in genotypes that differ […]

Bacterial Rind Necrosis of Watermelon in North Carolina
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:36-37 (article 18) 1982 Warren R. Henderson and S. F. Jenkins, Jr. North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Bacterial rind necrosis (BRN) has been reported in Florida (2), Texas (4), and Hawaii (3). Fruits infected with BRN were also observed in research plots in North Carolina in the late 1960’s […]

1981 Watermelon Reports
Report No. 4 Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) A new watermelon disease in Tunisia Hager Jebari (Tunisia) CGC 4:30-31 (1981) Hypersensitivity to anthracnose infection in Citrullus lanatus B.B. Rhodes (USA) CGC 4:32-33 (1981)
Hypersensitivity to Anthracnose Infection in Citrullus lanatus
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:32-33 (article 16) 1981 B. B. Rhodes Edisto Experiment Station, P. O. Box 247, Blackville, SC 29817 Van der Plank (3) discussed the hypersensitivity reaction in plants as first defined by Muller. It includes the morphological and histological change that when produced by an infectious agent, elicit the premature dying of […]
A New Watermelon Disease In Tunisia
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:30-32 (article 15) 1981 Hager Jebari Laboratory for Vegetable Crops, I.N.R.A.T., Tunisia A very serious, new bacterial disease, not yet identified, has been reported on watermelon in 1978, on both early planting (January) and later plantings (March) in the Sahel and the Cap Bon in Tunisia. The disease appears as large, […]
Inheritance of a Pale Seedling Character in Citrullus lanatus
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 3:39-40 (article 22) 1980 B. B. Rhodes Edisto Experiment Station, Blackville, SC 29817 The pale seedling character in watermelon was as described previously (1). On first examination, the character appeared to be associated with resistance to race 2 anthracnose (AR2). In 1979 the inheritance of this character and its relationship to […]
