| | Papaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The papaya, also known as mamao, tree melon, or pawpaw (not to be confused with the true pawpaw), is the fruit of the tree Carica papaya, in the genus Carica. | | | It is a small unbranched tree, the single stem growing to 5-10 m tall, with the spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk; the lower trunk is conspicuously scarred with the leaf scars of where older leaves and fruit were borne. | | | Papaya enzyme is also marketed in tablet form to remedy digestive problems. |

| | The papaya is one of the leading fruits of southern Mexico and 40% of that country's crop is produced in the state of Veracruz on 14,800 acres (6,000 ha) yielding 120,000 tons annually. | | | Papayas mature in 6 to 9 months from seed in the hotter areas of South Africa; in 9 to 11 months where it is cooler, providing an opportunity to supply markets in the off-season when prices are high. | | | A well-known cultivar is 'Coorg Honey Dew', a selection from 'Honey Dew' at Chethalli Station of the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research. |

| | Papaya culls are ground into a puree that can be used for cosmetic purposes; the process also yields seed for replanting fields. | | | Since papayas are normally propagated from seed, male plants are removed from plantings to reduce the chance of male seed production. | | | Papaya is native to tropical America, from Southern Mexico through the Andes of South America. |

| | Papaya General Information |
| | Papaya flowers are fragrant and have five cream-white to yellow-orange petals 1 to 2 in (2.5 to 5.1 cm) long. | | | Papayas planted in replant fields often succumb to diseases caused by accumulation of soil-borne pathogens. | | | In 1992, the total farm gate value of papaya in Hawaii was $14.4 million for the 71,300,000 lb harvested from 259 farms. |

| | Papayas offer not only the luscious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium; and fiber. | | | Papaya is not a commonly allergenic food, is not known to contain measurable amounts of goitrogens, oxalates, or purines, and is also not included in the Environmental Working Group's 2003 report "Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce" as one of the 12 foods most frequently containing pesticide residues. | | | Papayas are also a good source of fiber, which has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels. |

| | Papaya plants can also be grown from cuttings, which should be hardened off for a few days and then propped up with the tip touching moist, fertile soil until roots form. | | | Hawaiian papayas are easier to harvest because the plants seldom grow taller than 8 feet. | | | Papayas make excellent container and greenhouse specimens where soil moisture and temperature can be moderated. |

| | Papaya |
| | The papaya tree is one of the most distinctive plants on earth. | | | Unfortunately, papaya cannot be propagated by vegetative cuttings, so that one is not guaranteed that the seed planted from the "good" fruit will in turn produce fruits of the same quality. | | | Cultivation of papaya began in Central America (no old records, unfortunately), but quickly after the discovery of the New World, seeds of papaya were carried to Old World tropical areas. |

| | APSnet Feature: Transgenic Virus Resistant Papaya |
| | Acquaintance with the papaya growers in the confined geographic area of PRSV damage allowed for a rather unique opportunity to document the adoption and reaction of a majority of the papaya farmers to the transgenic crop soon after the seeds were released. | | | The reduction in virus inoculum allowed for strategic planting of nontransgenic papaya in areas that were free of infected plants and were not surrounded by areas of infected plants, such as had been present in 1992. | | | The resistance of the transgenic papaya under rather strong disease pressure allowed farmers to directly reclaim their farms without first clearing their land of all infected papaya trees. |

| | The pollination mechanism of the plant is not very well known but researchers 'Baker' and `Bawa' suggested that "pollination is performed by mimicry of the pistillate flowers to the staminate nectar-producing flowers." Another theory is that oxyalate packages in the anthers of the papaya plays a role in pollination as an enrichment of the nectar. | | | Parts of the plant are also used to combat dyspepsia and other digestive disorders (papaya contains a proteolytic enzyme which soothes the stomach and aides in digestion) and a liquid potion has been used to reduce enlarged tonsils. | | | The plant usually has a single trunk with several well developed branches. |
