Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for producing seeds in watermelon. In one embodiment methods are provided comprising grafting of a seed parent onto a stress tolerant rootstock, pollinating the seed parent with pollen from a pollen donor, and cultivating the seed parent until seed is formed. In specific embodiments, triploid seeds produced by a method of the invention are rendered conspicuously distinguishable from tetraploid seeds, and thus readily selected manually or by an automated machine. Methods for increasing seed yield and/or quality are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides seed and plants of the cucumber line designated APD147-4004Mo. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of cucumber line APD147-4004Mo, and to methods for producing a cucumber plant produced by crossing a plant of cucumber line APD147-4004Mo with itself or with another cucumber plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of cucumber line APD147-4004Mo, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

Abstract: The invention provides seed and plants of the cucumber line designated APD147-5007Gy. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of cucumber line APD147-5007Gy, and to methods for producing a cucumber plant produced by crossing a plant of cucumber line APD147-5007Gy with itself or with another cucumber plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of cucumber line APD147-5007Gy, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

Abstract: The invention provides seed and plants of the watermelon line designated WAS146-4197. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of watermelon line WAS146-4197, and to methods for producing a watermelon plant produced by crossing a plant of watermelon line WAS146-4197 with itself or with another watermelon plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of watermelon line WAS146-4197, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.
