Exploring genetic diversity in inbred papaya lines for fruit quality in advanced stage of improvement.

Despite the relevance of the global scenario regarding the papaya (Carica papaya L.) trade, there is still a limited number of papaya cultivars with different fruit patterns. Therefore, it is essential to explore the genetic variability at all levels of the germplasm used in the development of new papaya cultivars to meet its marketing goal.

The genetic diversity and population structure of two endemic Amazonian quillwort ( L.) species.

Background: Two endemic lycophyte species and have been recently described in the State of Pará in the Amazon forest located in northern Brazil. L. has survived through three mass extinctions.

Sensory acceptance and qualitative analysis of fruits in papaya hybrids.

Over the last three years, Brazil has been ranked among the three largest producers of papaya. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptance and commercial standard of papaya fruits according to their sensory traits and provide information about the organoleptic and qualitative aspects of the fruit. Ten papaya genotypes grown in Linhares-ES were investigated, arranged in a randomized block design with four replications.
