PI 525088-PMR, a melon race 1 powdery mildew-resistant watermelon line.

摘要

PI 525088-PMR is a watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) line resistant to melon race one powdery mildew pathogen (Podosphaera xanthii syn. Sphaerotheca fuliginea). The line is derived from the US Plant Introduction 525088. It does not have desirable fruit quality, such that it has white to light pink fruit flesh colour and an average Brix value of 6. However, it could be a useful parent for introducing race one powdery mildew resistance into adapted watermelon cultivars..
