F. M.  aBiolistic-mediated transformation Carica papaya by combining resistance to the herbicides Imazapyr and ammonium glufosinate as selectable markers.  c2009  aPapaya (carica papaya l.) is the most cultivated species of the Caricaceae family. It is grown in lowland tropical and subtropical areas around the world. Areproducible and effective method for transforming papaya based on the introduction of a mutant ahas (coding for acetolactate synthase) and bar (conding for PAT) genes, and selection with imazapyr and ammonium glufisinate (GA) (respectively) should facilitate detailed genomics studies, as well as the development of  transgenic papaya varieties with improved agricultural characteristics. For this new strategy to transform, green fruit of open pollinated "Sunrise" papaya, harvested 90  to 120 days after fruit set, was obtained from germplasm bank from Embrapa Cassava and Tropical Fruit.  aimazapyr  aHerbicida1 aSOUZA, A.
