Variety traits

Watermelon tolerance

Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai

The ability of watermelon to maintain productivity and viability when exposed to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum) or abiotic stresses, such as UV radiation and temperature fluctuations.

In the reference 49 varieties crop Watermelon, where this is mentioned in the description.

Tolerance to Fusarium wilt is assessed by bioassay methods, where the key criteria are the rate of symptom development, vascular browning, and the severity of root and stem damage. Due to the lack of a direct correlation between morphological traits and the actual degree of infection, molecular diagnostic methods are used to identify pathogen races.

When assessing the impact of abiotic factors, tolerance is defined as the plant's ability to maintain biomass and growth rates under increased UV-B radiation or low soil temperatures. In agronomic practice, qualitative scales of high, moderate, and low tolerance are used, which are established based on the results of trials in pathogen-infested fields.
