Abstract excerpt
Acidovorax citrulli infects seedlings, adult plants, and fruits, causing bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) in watermelon. Host resistance would provide an effective and economical management option for BFB, but there are currently no resistant watermelon cultivars. Several resistant accessions were previously identified in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Citrullus amarus collection. Identifying the genetic...
