Abstract

Abstract:

The history of watermelon breeding during 1870-2001 in the USA was reviewed. The course of watermelon breeding in the USA was divided into three stages. The pedigrees of ninety-one crossbred and inbred cultivars of two hundreds thirty-five released watermelon cultivars were analyzed, and the genetic contribution of their direct parents and ancestor parents were calculated. Their core parents with main genetic contribution were selected out. How to introduce and utilize these core germplasm was discussed.

Key words: USA, Watermelon, Germplasm, Genetic contribution
