Assessment of compositional changes during ripening of transgenic papaya modified for protection against papaya ringspot virus
2008-08-01
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Papaya (Carica papaya L.) production is limited by over 20 viruses, the most damaging of which is papaya ringspot virus (PRSV). Owing to a lack of suitable PRSV-resistant sources in Carica germplasm, transgenic resistance using the coat protein (cp) gene of a local PRSV strain is being developed to manage the disease in Jamaica. For assurance of food safety, the nutritional and antinutritional composit...
