A comparison between the record height-to-stem diameter allometries of Pachycaulis and Leptocaulis species.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Because of its rapid growth rate, relative ease of transformation, sequenced genome and low gene number relative to Arabidopsis, the tropical fruit tree, Carica papaya, can serve as a complementary genetic model for complex traits. Here, new phenotypes and touch-regulated gene homologues have been i...
