Abstract:

To get stable resistant watermelon cultivars, the genetic analysis of the resistance of watermelon cultivar ‘Heipi’ to Aphis gossypii was proceeded by the ratio of aphid number at seedling in a greenhouse added with RAPD and SCAR. The reciprocal-hybrid F1 of ‘Heipi’ and ‘Hualv’ was resistant while the resistant and susceptible plants in F2 hybrid fitted the separation ratio of 3:1 by χ 2test. Four resistant cultivars, four susceptible cultivars, ten resistant F2 single plants and ten susceptible F2 single plants were verified with screened RAPD WO4600 and SCAR WO4-S530. The results indicated that the resistance of the parent ‘Heipi’ to A. gossypii was controlled by a dominant single gene which was stably inherited, ‘Heipi’, ‘Lvmeiren’, ‘Heimeiren’ and ‘Huilan’ were aphid-resistant cultivars, ‘Hualv’, ‘Fengguang’, ‘Huibao’ and ‘Tianmeiren’ were aphid-susceptible cultivars.

Key words: watermelon cultivars, Aphis gossypii, aphid-resistance, genetic analysis
