“…Some studies on papaya have reported intra-and inter-generic analysis using morphological data, isozyme, RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism), PCR-based molecular markers like AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism), RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA), ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeat), DAMD (directed amplification of minisatellite DNA), and microsatellites or SSR (simple sequence repeats) (Jobin-Decor et al, 1997;Parasnis et al, 1997;Van Droogenbroeck et al, 2002;Vitória et al, 2004;Kyndt et al, 2005;Saxena et al, 2005;Ocampo et al, 2006;Silva et al, 2007;Eustice et al, 2008;Oliveira et al, 2010). However, studies that use morpho-agronomic and molecular data together to assess the genetic material used in breeding programs are scarce.…”
