The present invention provides novel watermelon cultivar SP-7 and plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom. The invention also provides methods for producing a watermelon plant by crossing the watermelon plants of the invention with themselves or another watermelon plant. The invention also provides watermelon plants produced from such a crossing as well as plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom. Further provided are methods of producing triploid watermelon seed and plants and seedless watermelon fruit produced therefrom as well as the triploid watermelon seed and plants and the seedless fruits produced by such methods.

The invention provides a new and distinct hybrid variety of Watermelon, NUN 31408 WMW, as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof.

A novel watermelon hybrid plant, designated TURNPIKE is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of watermelon hybrid TURNPIKE, to the plants and plant parts of watermelon hybrid TURNPIKE, and to methods for producing a watermelon plant by crossing the watermelon hybrid TURNPIKE with itself or another watermelon plant. The invention further relates to methods for producing a watermelon plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other watermelon plants derived from the watermelon hybrid plant TURNPIKE.

The invention relates to a cultivated plant of the species Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus (watermelon) producing fruits with high texture fruit flesh, wherein the plant optionally is a diploid, triploid or tetraploid plant. In one aspect, the plant of the invention comprises one or more mutations in the C1MBP 17_2 allele encoding a mutant C1MBP 17_2 protein or encoding lower levels of wild type C1MPBP 17_2 protein compared to wild type plants.

One embodiment relates to seed and plants of inbred watermelon line WTL0096. Another embodiment relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of inbred watermelon line WTL0096, and to methods for producing a watermelon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves, with another watermelon plant, such as a plant of another genotype, or with vegetatively propagating said plant. Another embodiment further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. Further embodiments relate to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

A novel watermelon hybrid plant, designated CHEETAH is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of watermelon hybrid CHEETAH, to the plants and plant parts of watermelon hybrid CHEETAH, and to methods for producing a watermelon plant by crossing the watermelon hybrid CHEETAH with itself or another watermelon plant. The invention further relates to methods for producing a watermelon plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other watermelon plants derived from the watermelon hybrid plant CHEETAH.

The invention provides seed and plants of the watermelon line designated TCSEJ12-2622. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, and to methods for producing a watermelon plant produced by crossing a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622 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 TCSEJ12-2622, including the fruits and gametes of such plants.

The present invention relates to a watermelon plant showing resistance against potyviruses, wherein the watermelon plant may comprise one or more of resistance conferring alleles of QTL1, QTL2 and QTL3 and wherein the said QTLs are as present in or obtainable from a watermelon plant, representative seed of which was deposited under deposit accession number NCIMB 42537, 42536, 42535 respectively.
