Claims73
A method for producing a gummy stem blight resistant Cucumis melo hybrid seed comprising:
- crossing a first Cucumis melo plant with a second Cucumis melo plant to yield a first generation hybrid seed, wherein said first plant is either resistant to gummy stem blight or not resistant to gummy stem blight and the second plant is resistant to gummy stem blight.
A gummy stem blight resistant Cucumis melo hybrid seed, prepared by a method comprising:
- crossing a first Cucumis melo plant with a second Cucumis melo plant to yield a first generation hybrid seed, wherein said first plant is either resistant to gummy stem blight or not resistant to gummy stem blight and the second plant is resistant to gummy stem blight.
A gummy stem blight resistant Cucumis melo hybrid plant, prepared by a method comprising:
- crossing a first Cucumis melo plant with a second Cucumis melo plant to yield a first generation hybrid seed, wherein said first plant is either resistant to gummy stem blight or not resistant to gummy stem blight and said second plant is resistant to gummy stem blight;
- and
- growing the first generation hybrid seed to yield a first generation resistant Cucumis melo hybrid plant.
Seed of a gummy stem blight resistant Cucumis melo breeding line designated NY 01-190-3R, -7L, -9L (composite), a sample of said seed having been deposited under ATCC accession number ______.
