In 2022, [[India]] produced 38% of the world's supply of papayas.

== Etymology ==
The word ''papaya'' derives from [[Arawak language|Arawak]] via [[Spanish language|Spanish]].<ref>((OEtymD|papaya|accessdate=17 November 2022))</ref> and is also the name for the plant. The name ''papaw'' or ''pawpaw'' is used alternatively for the fruit only in some regions.<ref name=morton/><ref>((OEtymD|papaw|accessdate=17 November 2022))</ref>

== Description ==
The papaya is a small, sparsely branched [[tree]], usually with a single [[Plant stem|stem]] growing from ((convert|5|to|10|m|ft|abbr=on)) tall, with [[Spiral|spirally]] arranged [[leaves]] confined to the top of the [[trunk (botany)|trunk]]. The lower trunk is conspicuously [[scar]]red where leaves and fruit were borne. The leaves are large, ((convert|50|-|70|cm|in|abbr=on)) in diameter, deeply [[Glossary of leaf shapes|palmate]]ly lobed, with seven lobes. All plant parts contain [[latex]] in articulated [[Laticifer|laticifers]].<ref name=Heywood/>

=== Flowers ===
Papayas are [[dioecious]]. The [[flower]]s are five-parted and highly dimorphic; the male flowers have the stamens fused to the petals. There are two different types of papaya flowers. The female flowers have a superior ovary and five contorted petals loosely connected at the base.<ref name="RonseDeCraene">((Cite book |last = Ronse De Craene |first = L.P. |date = 2010 |title = Floral diagrams: an aid to understanding flower morphology and evolution |publisher = Cambridge University Press |location = Cambridge |isbn = 978-0-521-49346-8 |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=24p-LgWPA50C ))</ref>((rp|235))

Male and female flowers are borne in the leaf axils; the male flowers are in multiflowered [[Glossary of botanical terms#Dichasium|dichasia]], and the female ones are in few-flowered dichasia.((citation needed|date=October 2019)) The pollen grains are elongated and approximately 35 microns in length.((citation needed|date=October 2019)) The flowers are sweet-scented, open at night, and are wind- or insect-pollinated.<ref name=Heywood/><ref name="WIFSS" /><ref name="FruitsAndNuts"/>

==Distribution and habitat==
Native to tropical America, papaya originates from southern Mexico and Central America.<ref name="morton"/><ref name="frontiers"/><ref name=Heywood/> Papaya is also considered native to southern [[Florida]], introduced by predecessors of the [[Calusa]] no later than AD 300.<ref name="irc">((cite magazine |last=Ward |first=Daniel |date=2011 |title=Papaya |url=https://regionalconservation.org/ircs/pdf/Ward_2011.pdf |magazine=The Palmetto |access-date=1 January 2022))</ref> Spaniards introduced papaya to the [[Old World]] in the 16th century.<ref name="morton"/> Papaya cultivation is now nearly [[pantropical]], spanning Hawaii, central Africa, India, and Australia.<ref name="morton"/>

Wild populations of papaya are generally confined to naturally disturbed tropical forests.<ref name="frontiers"/> Papaya is found in abundance on [[Everglades]] [[Tropical Hardwood Hammock|hammocks]] following major hurricanes, but is otherwise infrequent.<ref name="irc"/> In the rain forests of southern Mexico, papaya thrives and reproduces quickly in canopy gaps while dying off in the mature closed-canopy forests.<ref name="frontiers"/>

[[File:Papaya and birds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Different birds eating papaya]]

=== Viruses ===
[[Papaya ringspot virus]] is a well-known virus within plants in Florida.<ref name="morton" /> The first signs of the virus are yellowing and vein-clearing of younger leaves and mottling yellow leaves. Infected leaves may obtain blisters, roughen, or narrow, with blades sticking upwards from the middle of the leaves. The petioles and stems may develop dark green greasy streaks and, in time, become shorter. The ringspots are circular, C-shaped markings that are a darker green than the fruit. In the later stages of the virus, the markings may become gray and crusty. Viral infections impact growth and reduce the fruit's quality. One of the biggest effects that viral infections have on papaya is taste. As of 2010, the only way to protect papaya from this virus is [[Genetically modified food|genetic modification]].<ref name="papaya ringspot">((cite web |author1=Gonsalves, D. |author2=Tripathi, S. |author3=Carr, J.B. |author4=Suzuki, J.Y. |year=2010 |title=Papaya ringspot virus |url=https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publication/?seqNo115=231839))</ref>

The [[papaya mosaic virus]] destroys the plant until only a small tuft of leaves is left. The virus affects both the leaves of the plant and the fruit. Leaves show thin, irregular, dark-green lines around the borders and clear areas around the veins. The more severely affected leaves are irregular and linear in shape. The virus can infect the fruit at any stage of its maturity. Fruits as young as two weeks old have been spotted with dark-green ringspots about 1 inch (25&nbsp;mm) in diameter. Rings on the fruit are most likely seen on either the stem end or the blossom end. In the early stages of the ringspots, the rings tend to be many closed circles, but as the disease develops, the rings increase in diameter consisting of one large ring. The difference between the ringspot and the mosaic viruses is the ripe fruit in the ringspot has a mottling of colors, and the mosaic does not.<ref name="papaya mosaic">((cite web |last1=Hine |first1=B.R. |last2=Holtsmann |first2=O.V. |last3=Raabe |first3=R.D. |date=July 1965 |title=Disease of papaya in Hawaii |url=http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/B-136.pdf))</ref>

=== Fungi and oomycetes ===
The fungus [[anthracnose]] is known to attack papaya, especially mature fruits. The disease starts small with very few signs, such as water-soaked spots on ripening fruits. The spots become sunken, turn brown or black, and may get bigger. In some of the older spots, the fungus may produce pink spores. The fruit ends up being soft and having an off flavor because the fungus grows into the fruit.<ref name="test">((cite web |last1=Mossler |first1=M.A. |last2=Crane |first2=J. |date=2008 |title=Florida crop/pest management profile: papaya |url=http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/PI/PI05300.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170630121711/http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/PI/PI05300.pdf |archive-date=30 June 2017 |publisher=University of Florida))</ref>

The fungus [[powdery mildew]] occurs as a superficial white presence on the leaf's surface, which is easily recognized. Tiny, light yellow spots begin on the lower surfaces of the leaf as the disease starts to make its way. The spots enlarge, and white powdery growth appears on the leaves. The infection usually appears at the upper leaf surface as white fungal growth. Powdery mildew is not as severe as other diseases.<ref name="powdery mildew">((cite web |author1=Cunningham, B. |author2=Nelson, S. |date=June 2012 |title=Powdery mildew of papaya in Hawaii |url=http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/PD-90.pdf))</ref>

The fungus-like oomycete ''[[Phytophthora]]'' causes damping-off, [[root rot]], stem rot, stem girdling, and fruit rot. Damping-off happens in young plants by wilting and death. The spots on established plants start as white, water-soaked lesions at the fruit and branch scars. These spots enlarge and eventually cause death. The disease's most dangerous feature is the fruit's infection, which may be toxic to consumers.<ref name="test" /> The roots can also be severely and rapidly infected, causing the plant to brown and wilt away, collapsing within days.

=== Pests ===

The [[papaya fruit fly]] lays its eggs inside of the fruit, possibly up to 100 or more eggs.<ref name="morton" /> The eggs usually hatch within 12 days when they begin to feed on seeds and interior parts of the fruit. When the [[larva]]e mature, usually 16 days after being hatched, they eat their way out of the fruit, drop to the ground, and [[pupa]]te in the soil to emerge within one to two weeks later as mature flies. The infected papaya turns yellow and drops to the ground after the papaya fruit fly infestation.<ref name="test" />

The [[two-spotted spider mite]] is a 0.5-mm-long brown or orange-red or a green, greenish-yellow translucent oval pest. They all have needle-like piercing-sucking mouthparts and feed by piercing the plant tissue with their mouthparts, usually on the underside of the plant. The spider mites spin fine threads of webbing on the host plant, and when they remove the sap, the mesophyll tissue collapses, and a small chlorotic spot forms at the feeding sites. The leaves of the papaya fruit turn yellow, gray, or bronze. If the spider mites are not controlled, they can cause the death of the fruit.<ref name="test" />

The papaya whitefly lays yellow, oval eggs that appear dusted on the undersides of the leaves. They eat papaya leaves, therefore damaging the fruit. There, the eggs developed into flies in three stages called instars. The first instar has well-developed legs and is the only mobile immature life stage. The crawlers insert their mouthparts in the lower surfaces of the leaf when they find it suitable and usually do not move again in this stage. The next instars are flattened, oval, and scale-like. In the final stage, the pupal whiteflies are more convex, with large, conspicuously red eyes.<ref name="test" />

Papayas are one of the most common hosts for fruit flies like [[Anastrepha suspensa|''A. suspensa'']], which lay their eggs in overripe or spoiled papayas. The larvae of these flies then consume the fruit to gain nutrients until they can proceed into the pupal stage. This parasitism has led to extensive economic costs for nations in Central America.<ref>((Cite journal |last1=Sivinski |first1=J.M. |last2=Calkins |first2=C.O. |last3=Baranowski |first3=R. |last4=Harris |first4=D. |last5=Brambila |first5=J. |last6=Diaz |first6=J. |last7=Burns |first7=R.E. |last8=Holler |first8=T. |last9=Dodson |first9=G. |date=April 1996 |title=Suppression of a Caribbean Fruit Fly (Anastrepha suspensa(Loew) Diptera: Tephritidae) Population through Augmented Releases of the ParasitoidDiachasmimorpha longicaudata(Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) |journal=Biological Control |volume=6 |issue=2 |pages=177–185 |doi=10.1006/bcon.1996.0022 |issn=1049-9644))</ref>

== Cultivation ==
Historical accounts from 18th-century travelers and botanists suggested that papaya seeds were transported from the Caribbean to [[Malacca City|Malacca]] and then to India. From Malacca or the Philippines, papaya spread throughout Asia and into the South Pacific region. Credit for introducing papaya to Hawaii is often given to Don Francisco Marín, a Spanish explorer and horticulturist, who brought it from the Marquesas Islands in the early 1800s. Since then, papaya cultivation has expanded to all tropical countries and many subtropical regions worldwide. Today, papaya is grown extensively across the globe, owing to its adaptability to various climates and its popularity as a tropical fruit.<ref>((Cite book |last=Duarte O |first=Paull RE |title=Tropical Fruits, 1. |date=2010 |publisher=Wallingford : CABI))</ref>

Papaya plants grow in three sexes: male, female, and [[hermaphrodite]]. The male produces only [[pollen]], never fruit. The female produces small, inedible fruits unless pollinated. The hermaphrodite can self-pollinate since its flowers contain both male [[stamen]]s and female [[ovary (botany)|ovaries]]. Almost all commercial papaya orchards contain only hermaphrodites.<ref name="FruitsAndNuts">((cite journal |url=http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/F_N-5.pdf |title=Why Some Papaya Plants Fail to Fruit |last1=Chia |first1=C.

Originally from southern Mexico (particularly [[Chiapas]] and [[Veracruz]]), [[Central America]], northern [[South America]], and southern [[Florida]]<ref name="morton"/><ref name="irc"/> the papaya is now cultivated in most tropical countries. In cultivation, it grows rapidly, fruiting within three years. It is, however, highly frost-sensitive, limiting its production to [[tropics|tropical climates]]. Temperatures below ((convert|29|F|C|order=flip)) are greatly harmful, if not fatal. In Florida, California, and Texas, growth is generally limited to the southern parts of those states. It prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as standing water can kill the plant within 24 hours.<ref>((cite book|last=Boning|first=Charles R.|title=Florida's Best Fruiting Plants: Native and Exotic Trees, Shrubs, and Vines|year=2006|publisher=Pineapple Press, Inc.|location=Sarasota, Florida|pages=166–167))</ref>

===Cultivars===
Two kinds of papayas are commonly grown. One has sweet, red, or orange flesh, and the other has yellow flesh; in [[Australia]], these are called "red papaya" and "yellow papaw," respectively.<ref name=HortAustralia>((cite web|title=Papaya Varieties|url=http://australianpapaya.com.au/about/varieties/|date=2015|publisher=Papaya Australia|access-date=9 December 2015))</ref> Either kind, picked green, is called a "green papaya."((Cn|date=September 2023))

The large-fruited, red-fleshed 'Maradol,' 'Sunrise,' and 'Caribbean Red' papayas often sold in U.S. markets are commonly grown in Mexico and Belize.<ref name="morton"/><ref>((cite news|last=Sagon|first=Candy|title=Maradol Papaya|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A26970-2004Oct12.html|work=Market Watch (13 Oct 2004)|publisher=The Washington Post|access-date=21 July 2011|date=13 October 2004))</ref>

In 2011, Philippine researchers reported that by [[hybrid (biology)|hybridizing]] papaya with ''[[Vasconcellea quercifolia]]'', they had developed papaya resistant to [[papaya ringspot virus]] (PRV),<ref>((cite journal|title=Papaya ringspot virus resistance in Carica papaya via introgression from Vasconcellea quercifolia |doi=10.1007/s10681-011-0388-z |publisher=SpringerLink |volume=181 |issue=2 |journal=Euphytica |pages=159–168|year=2011 |last1=Siar |first1=S.

In transgenic papaya, resistance is produced by inserting the viral coat protein gene into the plant's genome. Doing so seems to cause a similar protective reaction in the plant to ''cross-protection'', which involves using an attenuated virus to protect against a more dangerous strain. Conventional varieties of transgenic papaya has reduced resistance against heterologous (not closely related to the coat gene source) strains, forcing different localities to develop their own transgenic varieties. As of 2016, one transgenic line appears able to deal with three different heterologous strains in addition to its source.<ref>((cite book |last1=Mishra |first1=Ritesh |last2=Gaur |first2=Rajarshi Kumar |last3=Patil |first3=Basavaprabhu L. |chapter=Current Knowledge of Viruses Infecting Papaya and Their Transgenic Management |title=Plant Viruses: Evolution and Management |date=2016 |pages=189–203 |doi=10.1007/978-981-10-1406-2_11|isbn=978-981-10-1405-5 ))</ref><ref name=OpD2017/>

=== Production ===
[[File:PapayaYield.png|thumb|Worldwide papaya production map]]

In 2022, global production of papayas was 13.8 million [[tonne]]s, led by India with 38% of the world total (table). Global papaya production grew significantly over the early 21st century, mainly as a result of increased production in India and demand by the United States.<ref>((cite web|url=http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fe913|title=An Overview of Global Papaya Production, Trade, and Consumption|publisher=Electronic Data Information Source, University of Florida|access-date=2014-02-07))</ref> The United States is the largest consumer of papayas worldwide.<ref name="WIFSS">((cite web|title=Papayas|url=https://www.wifss.ucdavis.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Papayas_PDF.pdf|publisher=Western Institute for Food Safety & Security, University of California at Davis|access-date=10 September 2017|date=2016))</ref>

== Toxicity ==

Papaya releases a latex fluid when not ripe, possibly causing irritation and an allergic reaction in some people. Because the enzyme [[papain]] acts as an [[allergen]] in sensitive individuals,<ref>((cite web |date=27 April 2019 |title=Papain |url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/9369 |access-date=29 April 2019 |publisher=National Library of Medicine, US National Institutes of Health))</ref> meat that has been tenderized with it may induce an [[allergic reaction]].<ref name="morton" />

Raw papaya pulp contains 88% water, 11% [[carbohydrates]], and negligible [[fat]] and [[Protein (nutrient)|protein]] (table). In a 100-g amount, papaya fruit provides 43 [[calories|kilocalories]] and is a significant source of [[vitamin C]] (75% of the [[Daily Value]], DV) and a moderate source of [[folate]] (10% DV), but otherwise has a low content of [[nutrients]] (see table).

== Uses ==
=== Culinary ===
The unripe green fruit is often eaten [[cooking|cook]]ed due to its [[latex]] content. It is commonly eaten raw in Vietnam and Thailand. The ripe fruit of the papaya is usually eaten raw, without skin or [[seed]]s.<ref name="morton" /> The black seeds of the papaya are edible and have a sharp, spicy taste.<ref name="morton"/>

The raw fruit can be ripened by placing it in the sun. The young leaves, flowers, and stems can be prepared by boiling with water changes.<ref>((Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/277203364 |title=The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants |publisher=[[Skyhorse Publishing]] |author=[[United States Department of the Army]] |year=2009 |isbn=978-1-60239-692-0 |location=New York |pages=75 |language=en-US |oclc=277203364))</ref>

==== Southeast Asia ====
((More citations needed section|date=September 2023))
Green papaya is used in [[Southeast Asia]]n cooking, both raw and cooked. In some parts of Asia, the young leaves of the papaya are [[steaming|steamed]] and eaten like [[spinach]].

In [[Myanmar]], the unripe papaya are cut into slices and dipped into sour, fermented, or spicy seasonings and dips. In Myanmar and Thai recipes, the unripe papaya are cut into thinner slices to make papaya salad.<ref>((cite web |title=Burmese Papaya Salad (Myanmar Food) | website=[[YouTube]] |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-gsBsCAwHw))</ref> The reason the unripe papaya is used is because of the firmer and crunchier texture.
