Inheritance of egusi seed type in watermelon.
An unusual seed mutant in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus) has seeds with a fleshy pericarp, commonly called egusi seeds. The origin of the phenotype is unknown, but it is widely cultivated in Nigeria for the high protein and carbohydrate content of the edible seeds. Egusi seeds have a thick, fleshy pericarp that appears during the second to third week of fruit development. We studie...
متن کاملInheritance of resistance to zucchini yellow mosaic virus and watermelon mosaic virus in watermelon.
High resistance to zucchini yellow mosaic virus-China strain (ZYMV-CH) and moderate resistance to watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) were found in a selection of PI 595203 (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus), an Egusi type originally collected in Nigeria. Mixed inoculations showed primarily that these two viruses have no cross-protection. This fact may explain the high frequency of mixed infection ofte...
متن کاملQualitative inheritance of rind pattern and flesh color in watermelon.
Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. lanatus] is a diverse species, with fruits of different sizes, shapes, rind patterns, and flesh colors. This study measured the inheritance of novel rind phenotypes and verified the genetics of white, red, salmon yellow, and canary yellow flesh colors. For each of the 11 crosses, six generations (P(a)S1, P(b)S1, F1, F2, BC1P(a), and BC...
متن کاملGenes Determining Rind Pattern Inheritance in Watermelon: A Review
The inheritance of rind pattern and color in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) has been studied since the 1930s. The most common rind (or skin) colors in watermelon are solid green (dark, medium, and light), striped (narrow, medium, and wide dark green stripes on a light green background), and gray (a light green background with a medium or dark green network of reticulati...
