Claim 15:
16. A method of introducing a single locus conversion into the plant of claim 1, comprising:
a. crossing the plant of claim 1 with a second watermelon plant comprising a desired single locus conversion to produce F1 progeny plants;
b. selecting F1 progeny plants that have the single locus conversion to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
c. crossing selected F1 progeny plants with watermelon variety NUN 11802 WMW to produce backcross progeny plants;
d. selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus conversion and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the watermelon variety NUN 11802 WMW to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and
e. repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the single locus conversion and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the watermelon variety NUN 11802 WMW, wherein a representative sample of seed of said watermelon variety has been deposited under Accession Number NCIMB 43701.
