The pathogen can survive in the seed of infected papaya, even after drying, for approximately 30 days (Obrero 1980). Thus far, seed-borne transmission is the predominant method of spread and infection; in fact, studies indicate the pathogen has the ability for long-range dispersal via seed (Ramachandran et al. 2015).
Considered a crop for cool-temperate climates, the mangelwurzel sown in autumn can be grown as a winter crop in warm-temperate to subtropical climates. Both leaves and roots may be eaten. Leaves can be lightly steamed for salads or lightly boiled as a vegetable if treated like spinach or chard, which is a member of the same subspecies. Grown in ...
It can grow at high altitudes over 2,000 m (6,600 ft), and is the most cold-tolerant plant in the genus Vasconcellea. The babaco is classified as a herbaceous shrub like Carica papaya (papaya) but unlike papaya it produces only female flowers.
