“…single dominant gene. The symbol Fwr has been proposed to denote the resistant gene (Khandelwal & Nath 1978). In the present study, the varieties/genotypes Asahi Yamato, Thar Manak, and AHW/BR-16 were resistant and AHW/BR-9, AHW/BR-137, BSM-1, IC 582909, and AHW/ BR-60 were susceptible varieties/genotypes of watermelon against the melon fly.…”

“…Genes for insect resistance have been reported in watermelon. Fruit fly (Dacus cucurbitae) resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene Fwr [58], and red pumpkin beetle (Aulacophora faveicollis) resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene Af [59]. Stress resistance has been found in watermelon.…”

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] is widely produced and consumed around the world as fleshy fruits. According to consumer and grower preferences, and market conditions (i.e. seedless varieties, good shelf life, etc.), many different cultivars are grown. The largest producer of watermelon in the world is China, is accounted for over 50% production by weight. Increasing in the production of melons is required for a growing population over the next decades. The production of total watermelons approximately doubled in 2009 from 2005 and currently it stabled. For consequences of climate alterations, declining agricultural land and water resources, and assailing microbes and pests, the demands of watermelon fruits are worsen. The watermelons production can be reached at an efficient level with cultivation of elite varieties such as, drought tolerance, disease resistant, high yield, which will be pivotal to success. It is important to improve of watermelon with the traits such as, seedless, good shelf life, excellent flesh color and good shapes that will make them more attractive to consumers. In order to generate elite varieties in watermelon, plant breeding with respect to conventional or molecular breeding methods must be reoriented to meet the global demand for next decades. Reports in here reveal some advanced work related to biotechnology that pivotal for enhancement of watermelon production.

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] is a major vegetable crop in the world, accounting for 6.8% of the world area devoted to vegetable crops. Watermelon is a useful vegetable crop for genetic research because of its small genome size, and the many available gene mutants. The watermelon genes were originally organized and summarized in 1944, and have been expanded and updated periodically. However, the action of some watermelon genes has not been described clearly in some cases. Also, the interaction of multiple gene loci that control similar traits needs to be described more clearly. Finally, it is necessary to identify the inbred lines having each published gene mutant, for use as type lines in studies of gene action, allelism, and linkage. The objective of this work was to update the gene list, identify the cultivar or line having each gene mutant, and collect seeds of the lines for use by interested researchers. In addition, the gene descriptions were expanded and clarified, information on gene interactions was added, and errors in naming or citing previously described genes were corrected. New genes that have not previously been described (cr, Ctr, dw-3, ms-2, Ti, ts and zym-FL) were added to the list, for a total of 163 watermelon gene mutants.
