effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of f1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon hi-u 16 was examined. in this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. the plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. fruit weight, diam...

Genetic diversity and relatedness were assessed among 46 American cultivars of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus), and 12 U.S. Plant Introduction accessions (PIs) of Citrullus sp. using 25 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. These primers produced 288 distinct reproducible bands that could be scored with high confidence among cultivars and PIs. Based on the RAPD data, ge...
