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 collection to reveal the history of papaya domestication, and to commercial cultivars to increase the speed and effectiveness of breeding efforts.
