To study the different flower sex types, we screened sex-related genes using alternative splicing sequences (AS-seqs) from a transcriptome database of the three flower sex types, i.e., males, females, and hermaphrodites, established at 28 days before flowering using 15 bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) of C. papaya L. After screening, the cDNA regions of the three sex-related loci, including short vegetative phase-like (CpSVPL), the chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit A-like (CpCAF1AL), and the somatic embryogenesis receptor kinase (CpSERK), which contained eight sex-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the different sex types of C. papaya L., were genoPloS oneThe development of functional mapping by three sex-related loci on the third whorl of different sex types of Carica papaya L.PMC5864051105-2622-B-020-002-CC1Chiu PHWang RHChen FCLin CPChang BCChiu CTLee CYChin SWLin HJViswanath KKfalseThe development of functional mapping by three sex-related loci on the third whorl of different sex types of Carica papaya L.Carica papaya L. is an important economic crop worldwide and is used as a model plant for sex-determination research.
