Germplasm variation among wild populations of the Argentinean highland papayas (Vasconcellea quercifolia A.St.-Hil. and V. glandulosa A.DC.): implications for conservation
Abstract:Species of Vasconcellea are promising for the agricultural industry as a source of genes for papaya improvement because many of them have edible fruits with favorable organoleptic properties. Vasconcellea quercifolia and V. glandulosa are the southernmost species and have recently been categorized as species of high conservation priority in Argentina. Although seeds of both species can be stored in genebanks, no speci c studies have been conducted on their germplasm variation, which is a key aspect to designin… Show more
