摘      要：The dwarf vine and small fruit watermelon, referred to as ‘dsh in this study, is a natural mutant of the ordinary watermelon, ‘Hanxuan Lvyuan .Morphological assessment indicated that its main vine length, internode length, and single-fruit weight were significantly lower than those of the ordinary watermelon(P 0.05), respectively. It was suggested that this dwarf and small fruit mutation was a single recessive gene trait that followed a Mendel s inheritance.
