| 800308000 | Watermelon | 6 |
| 20100306883 | WATERMELON WITH IMPROVED PROCESSING QUALITIES - A watermelon plant that produces fruit having (i) ultra-firm flesh and/or liquid-retaining flesh and (ii) soluble solids of at least about 6 brix. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20130160167 | WATERMELON VARIETY NUN 01007 WMW - The present invention relates to plants and plant parts of a watermelon variety NUN 01007 WMW, seeds from which the plant can be grown and seedless fruit produced on the plant, as well as vegetative reproductions of NUN 01007. Further, the invention relates to natural or induced phenotypic variants of the plant, such as mutants or somaclonal variants. | 06-20-2013 |
| 20130180017 | WATERMELON VARIETY NUN 01009 WMW - The present invention relates to plants and plant parts of a watermelon variety NUN 01009 WMW, seeds from which the plant can be grown and seedless fruit produced on the plant, as well as vegetative reproductions of NUN 01009. Further, the invention relates to natural or induced phenotypic variants of the plant, such as mutants or somaclonal variants. | 07-11-2013 |
| 20140020139 | DUAL PURPOSE POLLENIZER WATERMELONS - The application relates to the field of plant breeding, in particular watermelon breeding. Provided are diploid watermelon plants (and seeds from which these plants can be grown) which produce small, diploid, red watermelon fruits. Also provided are small, diploid watermelon fruits having an average weight of less than 1.8 kg. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140096292 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE INHIBITION OF MERISTEMATIC GROWTH ON CUCURBIT ROOTSTOCK - The invention provides methods of inhibiting the growth of a shoot apical meristem of a cucurbit rootstock plant, comprising contacting a shoot apical meristem of the cucurbit rootstock plant with an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more fatty alcohols, thereby inhibiting the growth of the shoot apical meristem of the cucurbit rootstock plant. The present invention further provides methods for preparing and producing cucurbit rootstock plants for grafting and methods for grafting. Additionally provided are cucurbit rootstock plants and plant parts and grafted cucurbit plants produced by the methods of the invention. | 04-03-2014 |
| 20160029584 | Methods and Compositions for Watermelon with Improved Processing Qualities and Firmness - A watermelon plant that produces fruit having (i) ultra-firm flesh and/or liquid-retaining flesh and (ii) soluble solids of at least about 6 brix. The invention further provides for unique watermelon plants with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype and their progeny. Such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype. In certain aspects, compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype are provided. | 02-04-2016 |
