EXPLORACIÓN Y CARACTERIZACIÓN DE POBLACIONES DE Carica papaya Y Jacaratia mexicana: PARTICULARIDADES DE FRUTOS

Mexico conserves a great diversity of wild relatives of cultivated plants; for example, different Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Caricaceae species families. In the latter, the Carica and Jacaratia genus are the most notable for the similarity of the fruits, but still poorly studied. These populations develop under edapho-climatic and phytosanitary pressure. Due to the interest to take advantage of these materials, the objective was to identify, collect and characterize C. papaya and J. mexicana germplasm. Populations were identified in four Mexican states, sites were characterized and fruits were collected in the populations. Size, weight and number of Álvarez-Hernández, J.C.; J. Z.
