The fruit is consumed world-wide as fresh fruit and as a vegetable or used as processed products. This review focuses primarily on two aspects. Firstly, on advances in in vitro methods of propagation, including tissue culture and micropropagation, and secondly on how these advances have facilitated improvements in papaya genetic transformation. An account of the dietary and nutritional composition of papaya, how these vary with culture methods, and secondary metabolites, both beneficial and harmful, and those having medicinal applications, are dis- cussed. An overview of papaya post-harvest is provided, while ‘synseed’ technology and cryopreservation are also covered. This is the first comprehensive review on papaya that attempts to integrate so many aspects of this economically and culturally important fruit tree that should prove valuable for professionals involved in both research and commerce.

Sutami 36A Surakarta 57126, Central Java Indonesia Keywords: acetaminophen, hepatoprotective, mountain papaya, flavonoid, Vasconcellea pubescens Abstract: The liver is a main organ of drugs metabolism in humans. Many studies have reported that acetaminophen has an effect on liver injury. Targeting mitochondrial oxidant stress is a promising therapeutic option for acetaminophen hepatotoxicity. Previous study has shown that mountain papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC.) fruit has an effect against lipid peroxidation activity. This research aims to know the hepatoprotective effect of mountain papaya fruit ethanolic extract (MPFE) in rats after induced by acetaminophen. The rats were divided into six groups, with group I not administered with any treatment, group II administered with suspension of 0.25% CMC-Na as negative control, group III was administered with suspension of silymarin as positive control. Groups IV, V, and VI were given MPFE with variation doses 120; 240 and 480 mg/kg body weight for 14 days. At day 14th, all groups except the normal group were induced with acetaminophen in toxic dose (2 g/kg body weight). The liver injury was measured by ALT, AST, bilirubin, ALP value and liver histology profile. The results showed that MPFE could significantly decrease liver cell injury (p <0.05) by ALT, AST and liver histology profile parameters in which each dose has the same ability.

  • 227 Section 10 Papaya (Carica Papaya)
    SECTION 10 PAPAYA (CARICA PAPAYA) 1. Taxonomy and General Description A. Taxonomy Papaya, Carica papaya L., is an almost herbaceous (succulently soft-wooded), typically unbranched small tree in the family Caricaceae. Europeans first encountered papaya in the Western Hemisphere tropics by at least the early 1500s (Sauer, 1966), and various interests were soon disseminating it widely (Ferrão, 1992). Papaya is now cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical climates mainly for its melon-like fruit. The Caricaceae is classified in the order Brassicales (sometimes called Capparales), which characteristically express mustard-oil glucosides (glucosinolates) (Jørgensen, 1995; Rodman et al., 1998; Olson, 2002). Recently, consensus has been developing that the genus Carica L. has only the one species C. papaya, and that the Caricaceae may comprise six genera (Aradhya et al., 1999; Badillo, 2000; Van Droogenbroeck et al., 2002, 2004; Kubitzki, 2003; Manshardt, 2002, Havaii University, pers. com.). Most of the genera are neotropical forest plants, occurring in South America and Mesoamerica or only in Mesoamerica. Vasconcellea, the largest genus with 21 species, had usually been considered as a section within Carica. The other neotropical genera are Jacaratia (7 spp.), Jarilla (3 spp.) and Horovitzia (1 sp.) (Badillo, 1993). The sixth genus, Cylicomorpha (2 spp.), occurs in montane forests in equatorial Africa (Badillo, 1971). The highland papayas, Vasconcellea (not “Vasconcella” – see Badillo, 2001; Kubitzki, 2003), are considered the closest relatives to Carica papaya (Badillo, 1993; Aradhya et al., 1999; Van Droogenbroeck et al., 2002, 2004). Vasconcellea has many species with edible fruits (and a few cultivated varieties) (Badillo, 2000; Scheldeman and Van Damme, 2001); commercial cultivation of Caricaceae may be limited to the papaya and chamburo (ababai), babaco, and toronche or higacho (the names vary and sometimes are used locally for more than one species).

    Floral expression and pollen germination ability in productive mountain papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC.) orchards María Angélica Salvatierra-González1*, and Constanza Jana-Ayala1 ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Mountain papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC.) The Caricaceae family consists of six genera, including Carica is described as trioecious in the centers of origin of and Vasconcellea (Kyndt et al., 2005; Carvhalo and Rennes, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. However, under cultivation 2012). Carica papaya L. is the only species of the genus Carica conditions in La Serena (30° S, 70° W), Chile, it is found and the most studied. The genus Vasconcellea has 21 species, most to be dioecious and monoecious. The objective was to of which are dioecious (19), but one species is monoecious (V. learn about the variations in floral expression of mountain monoica) and another is trioecious (V. pubescens A.DC.) just like papaya. Flowers from monoecious and dioecious plants C. papaya. The species cultivated in Chile, known as mountain were therefore identified and quantified during two papaya, is V. pubescens (Muñoz, 1988; Scheldeman et al., 2007). seasons. In vitro pollen germination ability was also The trioecious sexual type is considered rare, and it is suggested evaluated based on the factors of site, season, and plant sex. that it is derived from a dioecious ancestor (Aryal and Ming, Monoecious plant inflorescences are polygamous; female 2013). Aguirre et al. (2009) defines V. pubescens as polygamous. and male flowers are observed, as well as bisexual flowers Genetic studies of Vasconcellea have suggested the evolution that are usually deformed. This condition allows them to be of the chromosomes that determine sex (Wu et al., 2010); these classified as an ambisexual plant.

    FAVORITE FRUIT TREES FOR SAN DIEGO By Tom Del Hotal DECIDUOUS FRUIT Deciduous fruit trees often require a winter dormancy period where temperatures fall between 32 and 45 degrees F. in order to grow, flower and fruit properly. Varieties differ in the number of hours they require at these temperatures to overcome dormancy. The fruit trees listed under Column A have the lowest chilling requirements ( 0 - 300 hours) and should perform well in most areas of San Diego. The fruit trees listed under Column B have higher chilling requirements ( 300 - 500 hours ) and may not perform well in areas of very low chill ( less than 250-300 hours). Column A Column B COMMENTS APPLES Anna Beverly Hills Fuji Prune to central leader or modified central Dorsett Golden Pettingill Gordon leader shape. Dormant spray to control dormant Winter Banana Granny Smith diseases & overwintering insects. Some Winter Pearmain Mutsu varieties require pollinizers. Pink Lady APRICOTS EarliGold Floragold Autumn Royal Prune to open vase or modified open vase Gold Kist Katy shape. Fruit is produced on short lived fruiting Royal (Bleinheim) spurs. Dormant spray to control dormant diseases & overwintering insects. Do not dormant spray with lime-sulfur (calcium polysulfide) dormant sprays. CHERRIES Minnie Royal Two new sweet cherries that reportedly have Royal Lee lower chill requirements than most sweet cherries, 250 chill hours or less. Need both for cross pollination. Prune to open vase or modified open vase shape. Excellent fruit. FIGS Black Madeira Black Mission Roots are very invasive. Prune to control size. Brown Turkey Celeste Conadria Italian Everbearing *Not good for cool coastal areas.

  • The Identity of Oidium Caricae and the First Recording on Papaya, Mountain Papaya and Babaco in New Zealand
    Fruits - vol. 37, n°7 -8, 1982 - 473 The identity of Oidium caricae and the first recording on papaya, mountain papaya and babaco in New Zealand H.J. BOESEWINKEL* DETERMINATION D'OIDIUM GARIGAE SIGNALE POUR LA PREMIERE FOIS SUR PAPA YER, PAPA YER DE MONTAGNE ET BABACO EN NOUVELLE ZELANDE H.J. BOESEWINKEL Fruits, Jul.-aug. 1982, vol. 37, no 7-8, p. 473-477. RESUME - L'Oidium caricae est signale pour la premiere fois sur le papayer (Garica papaya), le papayer de montagne (Garica pubescens) et le papayer babaco (G. pubescens x G. stipulata) en Nouvelle ze1an­ de. Cet oidium a ete identifie comme la forme imparfaite de Erysiphe cruciferarum. II a ete transmis facilement du rutabaga a la papaye et de la papaye au radis sauvage. Erysiphe cichoracearum a ete trouve sur le papayer et le papayer de montagne. Un resume est donne des 12 oidiums qui ont ete decrits sur papaye, ainsi que Jes aires de distribution geographique. INTRODUCTION (YEN, 1966) and Madagascar (SECRET, 1953). During the The papaya, a valuable food and drug plant in many present study 0. caricae was found also in New Zealand and tropical and subtropical countries, is host to an unusually Taiwan. In the type description NOACK (1898) gave as conidial size 23-25 x 14.5-201im but after examination of large number of powdery mildews. Although there are type material, YEN (1966) found the conidia to be long reports of twelve powdery mildews from all over the world, the actual distribution of the different species is cylindrical and measuring about 38-51 x 16-20 1-Lm.

The genus deserves special attention as a number of species show potential as raw material in the tropical fruit industry, fresh or in processed products, or as genetic resources in papaya breeding programs.
