Correlation of Leaf Parameters with Incidence of Papaya Ring Spot Virus in Cultivated Papaya and its Wild Relatives

Papaya ring spot virus (PRSV) disease has been the major impediment in papaya cultivation. The disease is transmitted through three aphid vectors and field tolerance towards this disease varies among Carica papaya cultivars as well as within the Vasconcellea genus. Leaf morphological traits are know...
