ABSTRACT:
A tetraploid watermelon inbred 90-4194 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds and plants of tetraploid watermelon inbred 90-4194, the methods of propagating the tetraploid inbred 90-4194 through seeds and tissue culture. The invention also relates to methods of producing the triploid seedless watermelon seeds and plants by crossing inbred 90-4194 with diploid watermelon inbreds, and to the triploid plants produced therefrom. The invention further relates to the methods of developing new tetraploid lines by using tetraploid inbred 90-4194 as breeding material, and to tetraploid watermelon seeds and plants produced therefrom.
