The significance of leaf morphological characters for the identification of carica papaya L. cultivars in Malaysia

The detailed study of the papaya leaves morphology indicated that there were significant differences in the macrostructures and microstructures of the leaves between the 22 papaya cultivars that were grown in Malaysia. The number of leaf main veins, number of lobes at the leaf margin, leaf shape, ty...
