Title: Papaya Germplasm and Breeding in Hawaii
Authors: R.M. Manshardt and F.T.P. Zee
Abstract:
The papaya improvement "program" in
Hawaii consists of several projects involving
collaboration between researchers at the University of Hawaii, the USDA, and mainland
institutions.
The program aims to collect and
evaluate papaya germplasm from Central and
South America, as well as address specific
breeding objectives.
In addition to conventional
techniques, the methodologies of molecular biology are being applied to the germplasm col
lection to reveal the history of papaya domestication, and to commercial cultivars to increase
the speed and effectiveness of breeding efforts.
