Wild species related to crops are a source of genes for improving crop tolerance biotic and abiotic stresses. Vasconcellea quercifolia V. glandulosa wild relatives papaya (Carica papaya). They the southernmost-distributed members genus have traits temperature precipitation seasonality. Climate land-use changes, however, threatening their persistence. Our objectives were identify priority ex situ conservation areas based on potential distribution both in northwestern Argentina under global...
Abstract Species of Vasconcellea are promising for the agricultural industry as a source genes papaya improvement because many them have edible fruits with favorable organoleptic properties. quercifolia and V. glandulosa southernmost species recently been categorized high conservation priority in Argentina. Although seeds both can be stored genebanks, no specific studies conducted on their germplasm variation, which is key aspect to designing strategy. In this work, we assess morphological,...
