<p>A seed and plant body of WATERMELON LINE WNV142-1115 are provided to obtain tetraploid watermelon by crossing tetraploid watermelon system with WNV142-1115 which is tetraploid and to produce fruits having physiological and morphologic properties. A method of producing a watermelon plant derived from line WNV142-1115 comprises the steps of: (a) doubling the chromosome number of a watermelon plant of line WNV142-1115, a sample of the seed of which has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-8596, to result in a tetraploid plant; (b) allowing the tetraploid watermelon plant to self-pollinate; and (c) harvesting seed from the tetraploid watermelon plant.</p> |
