The recent program for assembly new papaya variety was aimed to improve its quality, which based on consumer preference on papaya fruit characters namely size (small to medium), flesh thickness, flesh color (reddish, orange and chewy), and the taste (sweet). To get that kind of papaya variety, a plant breeding program could be applied to assembly. Indonesian Tropical Fruit Research Institute (ITFRI) had conducted several papaya hybridizations in order to obtain a wide genetic variability. The study was carried out in Sumani Experimental Filed of ITFRI, Solok Regency, West Sumatra, and performed to select high-quality papaya hybrids based on the fruit characters. The tested genotypes were selected based on its heritability index on fruit size (length, diameter, and weight), flesh thickness and total dissolved solids (TSS). As the results, six papaya varieties were selected based on fruit character, which mirroring best quality of papaya fruit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
