Root-knot nematode-resistant rootstock lines (designated RKVL for Root-Knot Vegetable Laboratory) derived from wild watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides) were compared with wild tinda (Praecitrullus fistulosus) lines and commercial cucurbit rootstock cultivars for grafting of seedless triploid watermelon 'Tri-X 313' (C. lanatus var. lanatus...
Southern root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) are an important re-emerging pest of watermelon in the United States and worldwide. The re-emergence of root-knot nematodes (RKNs) in watermelon and other cucurbits is largely the result of the intensive cultivation of vegetable crops on limited agricultural lands coupled with the loss of methyl...

... The use of genetically resistant plants is the most sustainable method to control Meloidogyne spp., being a challenge the search for sources of resistance (Molinari, 2011). Alternatively, however, in a short-term, the use of resistant rootstocks would be feasible, as practiced for other crops (Louws et al., 2010;Thies et al., 2012;Galatti et al., 2013;Guan et al., 2014). Nevertheless, this practice would have greater applicability in noble melons cultivated in greenhouses, because of the high commercial value-added. ...

... Recently, citron watermelon (C. lanatus var citroides) has emerged as a promising rootstock for improving fruit yield and quality of grafted watermelon [9,19,20]. Currently, the interspecific hybrid C. maxima × C. moschata is the most commonly used commercial rootstock for grafted watermelon [8,9]. However, other rootstocks, such as L. siceraria, have gained popularity due to their attributes such as improved protection against fusarium wilt and root-knot nematodes [21,22], positive effects on fruit yield, and quality of grafted watermelon fruits under adverse conditions [16]. ...
