Selection and estimation of the genetic gain in segregating generations of papaya (Carica papaya L.)

In Brazil, papaya is sustained by a narrow genetic basis, with few genetically distinct cultivars for planting.Therefore, this study aimed to select and estimate the direct and combined genetic gains for commercial fruit yield (Yld Plt-1)in segregating generations of papaya. Six traits were simultan...
