Abstrakt: Sex form is one of the most important characteristics in papaya cultivation in which hermaphrodite is the preferable form. Self-pollination of H*-TSS No.7, an inbred line derived from a rare X chromosome mutant SR*, produced all-hermaphrodite progeny. The recessive lethal allele controlling the all-hermaphrodite phenomenon was proposed to be the recessive Germination suppressor (gs) locus. This study employed next-generation sequencing technology and genome comparison to identify the candidate Gs gene. One specific gene, monodehydroascorbate reductase 4 (MDAR4) harboring a unique polymorphic 3 bp deletion in H*-TSS No.7 was identified. The function of MDAR4 is known to be involved in the hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) scavenging pathway and is associated with seed germination. Furthermore, MDAR4 showed higher expression in the imbibed seeds than that in the dry seeds indicating its potential role in the seed germination. Perhaps this is the very first report providing the evidences that MDAR4 is the candidate of Gs locus in H*-TSS No.7. In addition, Gs allele-specific markers were developed which would be facilitated for breeding all-hermaphrodite lines.
