Narrative
Accession received as C. melo PI 180280. Seed sample mostly C. sativus. Maintained at S9 via open-pollination. Resistance to Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRSV) found in accession which is mentioned in many publications. The resistance was found in S9 open-pollinated seed lot distributed for many years. The old open-pollinated seed lot was not discarded when controled pollinated increase from original was secured. Instead, a new PI (PI 659407) was assigned to the original seed lot and 09ncai01 Ames controlled-pollinated lot.
