Estimating the term…
Papaya plants containing mutant allele EWSMHP, which confers production of highly hermaphroditic progenies upon selfing of its hermaphrodite plants and also production of highly hermaphroditic F1 progenies when crossed with normal female and normal hermaphrodite papaya plants, are disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of papaya plants having mutant allele EWSMHP, to the plants and plant parts of papaya plants having mutant allele EWSMHP and to methods for producing progeny of papaya plants having mutant allele EWSMHP. The invention also relates to methods for producing a papaya plant having mutant allele EWSMHP containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic papaya plants and plant parts produced by those methods. The invention also relates to papaya cultivars or breeding cultivars, and plant parts derived from papaya plants having mutant allele EWSMHP. The invention further relates to hybrid papaya seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing a plant having mutant allele EWSMHP with another papaya cultivar.
A papaya plant or plant part containing mutant allele EWSMHP, wherein said mutant allele confers 90-100% hermaphroditic plants and 0-10% female plants upon selfing of hermaphrodite papaya plants containing mutant allele EWSMHP, and 90-100% hermaphroditic F1 plants and 0-10% female F1 plants when hermaphrodite plants containing mutant allele EWSMHP are crossed as a pollen parent to a normal female papaya.
A seed of papaya cultivar EWS-2499m, wherein a representative of sample seed of said cultivar is deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120861.
A method of introducing a desired trait into papaya cultivar EWS-2499m or a papaya plant containing mutant allele EWSMHP, wherein the method comprises:
