Preliminary work on molecular identification of markers linked to papaya sex gene locus
Carica papaya is a polygamous plant species with male, female and hermaphrodite sexes. Genetic studies have shown that sex in papaya is controlled by a major gene SexI with three alleles. However, the sex of the plant can not be identified through morphological characteristics. Since only the fruits...
