Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The papaya Y-linked region showed clear population structure, resulting in the detection of the ancestral male population that domesticated hermaphrodite papayas were selected from. The same populations were used to study nucleotide diversity and population structure in the X-linked region. RESULTS: Diversity is very low for all genes in the X-linked region in the wild dioecious population, with...
