Afield
test was established to determine the genetic inheritance
pattern for fruit soluble solids (measured as brix percentage
of the flesh) between three inbred papaya lines and their three
possible hybrids. The parental lines examineddiffered
significantly for this characteristic. It was established that
high levels of sugars are dominant to low levels. It is
concluded that a great potential exists to exploit this
dominant pattern of inheritance since it opens the possibility
of using inbred lines of good agronomic characteristics but
with low fruit flesh sugar content in the making of
commercial hybrids. The possible underlying mechanisms
that determine this character are discussed for this species.
