Morphological variation in the flowers of Jacaratia mexicana A. DC. (Caricaceae), a subdioecious tree

open access: yesPlant Biology, 2009
The Caricaceae is a small family of tropical trees and herbs in which most species are dioecious. In the present study, we extend our previous work on dioecy in the Caricaceae, characterising the morphological variation in sexual expression in flowers of

Glucosinolates in the caricaceae

Phytochemistry, 1970
Abstract Five species of the family Caricaceae were examined for glucosinolates. Like Carica papaya L., they all contained benzylglucosinolate (I, R = C 6 H 5 CH 2 ) as the sole thioglucoside.

Benzyl isothiocyanate in the caricaceae

Phytochemistry, 1972
Abstract GLC quantitation of benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) in 1–2 macerated seeds of Caricaceae is described. In Carica and Jarilla genera, the content of this compound ranges from 1·37 to 1·96%. In seeds of Jacaratia , however, only 2–4 ppm of BITC was found.

The Phylogeny of the Caricaceae

2013
The family Caricaceae comprises 35 species in currently 6 genera. Thirty-two species occur in Central and South America and two in Africa. The species occur in a wide range of tropical habitats, and growth forms range from rhizomatous herbs to tall trees. Most species are dioecious, with strictly male and female individuals.

Somatic embryogenesis in Jarilla heterophylla (Caricaceae)

Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2011
It is reported for the first time an efficient protocol for indirect somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration for Jarilla heterophylla (Caricaceae). Initial explants were mature zygotic embryos obtained from seeds collected in two regions of the state of Jalisco, Mexico (San Luis Soyatlan and Zacoalco de Torres).

V. Chromosome Counts for the Caricaceae Reveal Unexpected Dysploidy

2015
The family Caricaceae has six genera with together 34 species and one hybrid (Carvalho 2013). Besides the economically important crop, Carica papaya, other species in the family also produce edible fruits that are sold in local markets. The sister group of C.
