Abstract
The mode of inheritance of resistance to Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis race 2, in muskmelon (Cucumis melo) cvs. Mango Melon and Smith's Perfect and in Texas AES (TAES) cvs. Rio Gold, Wescan, and Dulce was determined by analyzing wilt resistance segregation of F 1 , F 2 , and BC 1 populations of crosses with susceptible cv. Top Mark. The ratios obtained indicate that resistance to race 2 in these cultivars is conferred by a dominant gene. In allelism tests, resistance in Mango Melon, Smith's Perfect, and the TAES cultivars was determined to be controlled by the gene Fom 3(.)
