Genetics and Genomics of Papaya

Abstract

From seedling emergence through postharvest fruit distribution, Carica papaya is challenged by a wide range of pests and pathogens that diminish fruit yield and marketability. Because chemical control may be costly, unavailable, or ineffective, comprehensive pathogen management strategies, including increased genetic resistance, are needed. Today, heterologous transformation and interspecific and intergeneric hybridization are used to improve disease resistance. Transgene approaches have been used to control several strains of papaya ringspot virus and, along with the introgression of resistance from wild relatives, may be used for controlling other pathogens as well. Expansions of these sources of resistance are needed to ensure that modern cultivars evolve with microbial populations. The papaya genome sequence is available and can be used to provide markers to identify and isolate R-genes from C. papaya and related species. These genes can be introduced into susceptible lines using transformation. The emergence of new diseases and movement of pathogens suggests that extending resistance durability will require a comprehensive strategy of integrating genetic resistance, cultural practices, and factors including innate protection provided by beneficial plant–microbe interactions. Transgene efficacy will need to be monitored during disease epidemics and, likewise, evaluated for changes that may occur over generations in the absence of pathogen selection pressure. Developing and coordinating the use of papaya’s disease resistance resources will ensure that this species continues to provide a valuable source of nutrition for the world’s tropical and subtropical regions and the markets that rely upon these regions for imported fruit.
