Abstract: The cross of watermelon PI482246,which is resistant to powdery mildew disease, and Zhongxin 1,which is susceptible to powdery mildew disease, were used to construct F2, BC1.1 and BC1.2progeny populations?The inheritance of resistancewas analyzed with Podosphaera xanthii race-France purified and identified from a collection of powdery mildew using spore spraying method in greenhouse. The results of cross tests indicated that the resistance carried by PI482246 to powdery mildew race-France was controlled by a single recessive gene and the resistance was incomplete recessive.

Key words: Watermelon, Powdery mildew, Physiological race identification, Resistance inheritance
