    Genetic and epigenetic integrity assessment of acclimatised papaya plants regenerated directly from shoot-tips following short- and long-term cryopreservation

    A vitrification-based cryopreservation protocol was applied to in vitro sourced shoot-tips of four genotypes of Carica papaya; two female (70 and Z6) and two male (B2 and B4). Regeneration of ~58 % (70) and ~59 %...

    Papaya ringspot virus resistance in Carica papaya via introgression from Vasconcellea quercifolia

    We report the first successful production of PRSV-P resistant backcross (BC) papaya plants following intergeneric hybridisation between C. papaya and a Vasconcellea species after 50 years of reports on unsuccessf...

    Development of a codominant CAPS marker linked to PRSV-P resistance in highland papaya

    Development of resistant papaya varieties is widely considered the best strategy for long-term control of the papaya ringspot virus type P (PRSV-P). Several species of “highland papaya” from the related genus Vas...

    Maternal inheritance of cytoplasmic organelles in intergeneric hybrids of Carica papaya L. and Vasconcellea spp. (Caricaceae Dumort., Brassicales)

    The mode of inheritance of chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA has been determined in intergeneric hybrids between C. papaya and four different Vasconcellea species by employing a restriction fragment length polymo...

    RAPD and isozyme analysis of genetic relationships between Carica papaya and wild relatives

    The genetic origin of cultivated papaya is not clear. Wild relatives of papaya (Carica papaya) from central southern America were investigated using isozyme and RAPD analysis. Seven other species (including si...

    Morphological, molecular and cytological analyses of Carica papaya×C. cauliflora interspecific hybrids

     Morphological, molecular and cytological analyses were performed to assess the hybridity of 120 putative interspecific hybrids of Carica papaya L.×C. cauliflora Jacq. In the putative interspecific hybrids the nu...

    Micropropagation of Passiflora Species (Passionfruit)

    The genus Passiflora (family Passifloraceae) comprises 400 species, of which 50 to 60 bear edible fruits (Martin and Nakasone 1970); however, the genus is as well known for its colourful flowers. Most of the Pass...

    Application of Biotechnology to Carica Papaya and Related Species

    An efficient protocol has been developed for clonal multiplication of papaya based on rooted microcuttings from nodes of apically dominant plants in vitro. Other Carica species cauliflora, parviflora, pubescens a...

    Field evaluation of micropropagated bananas derived from plants containing Banana Bunchy-Top Virus

    Micropropagated bananas derived from Banana Bunchy-Top Virus (BBTV) infected plants, but displaying no symptoms of the disease, were established in the field. They were grown for three years and produced a pla...
