Summary:In a screening test of 76 PIs, commercial Chinese watermelons, and `Crimson Sweet', PI512385 had the highest disease resistance with a mean rating of 4.5 on a 1-9 scale with 1 = resistant and 9 = susceptible. A second test with PI512385 included material with previously reported resistance (PIs 270550, 326515, 271775, 271779, 203551, 299379 and 189225) and `Crimson Sweet', a susceptible check showed PI512385 had significantly more resistance than `Crimson Sweet' but was not significantly more resistant than the PIs. PI512385 had a mean rating of 2.2 in the second test.
