Abstract
Disclosed here is a novel process which facilitates the rapid and economical production of seedless watermelon seed. The novel process involves cloning desirable tetraploid watermelon parental lines. These parental lines are essential in the production of triploid seed for the seedless watermelon. The subject invention makes possible the use of self-sterile tetraploid parental lines in the production of triploid seed.
