Definitions

  • This invention relates to unique watermelon inbred lines and hybrid varieties that produce fruit having ultra firm edible flesh at maturity that resists at least 3.0 Pounds force (lbf) (measurement techniques defined herein).
  • these fruits meet market requirements for sweetness, having not less than 6 brix for the edible tissue (measurement techniques defined herein).
  • the invention also provides a watermelon plant with liquid-retaining flesh.
  • this liquid-retaining trait corresponds to the amount of weight that cut watermelon fruit flesh loses over time.
  • Preferred are watermelon plants wherein cut flesh from the watermelon fruit loses less than about three and one-half percent of its weight after three days storage at 4° centigrade. More preferred are such watermelon plants where the cut flesh loses less than about three percent weight after three days storage at 4° centigrade.
  • a still further preferred watermelon plant is provided where the cut flesh loses less than about two percent weight after three days storage at 4° centigrade.
  • the watermelon plant has cut flesh that loses less than about one and one-half percent weight after three days storage at 4° centigrade. This liquid-retaining trait extends the shelf life of processed watermelon fruit.
  • Watermelon plants of this invention may be seeded or seedless. Methods for obtaining diploid, triploid and tetraploid plants are well known in the art. Specifically, methods for obtaining diploid and triploid watermelon plants and seed of the present invention are described in detail below. Tetraploid plants of the present invention may be easily obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art using known cell biology techniques and the diploid plants described below.
  • Figure 1 shows that significant fruit flesh firmness variation still existed in these samples. Although the data in Figure 1 indicate significant variation, it was clear that improvements to fruit firmness had been made. The arrow shows the average firmness rating of the recurrent parents. Even at this early generation in product development, approximately 43% of the fruits have firmness measurements of not less than 4 lbf.
