ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a watermelon plant, seed, variety and hybrid. More specifically, the invention relates to a watermelon plant having an allele which results in a multibranching compact watermelon plant with small fruit. The invention also relates to crossing inbreds, varieties and hybrids containing the allele to produce novel types and varieties of watermelon plants.
