z Data are ratings from four families of resistant PI accessions by susceptible cultivars of <strong>Citrullus</strong> <strong>lanatus</strong><br />
var. <strong>lanatus</strong> and citroides. Disease assessment scale adopted for evaluating watermelon for resistance to<br />
gummy stem blight: 0 = no disease; 1 = yellowing on leaves (suspect of disease only); 2 to 4 = symptoms<br />
