โœฆ Synopsis

Investigations were carried out on epididymal spermatozoa of male mice to study the effects of high dosages (100, 200 and 300 mg kg(-1) bwt) of aqueous Carica papaya seed extract. The results revealed a significant dosedependent suppression of cauda epididymal sperm motility coinciding with a decrease in sperm count and viability. When tested 45 days after the withdrawal of treatment, complete normalcy was restored, proving that the induced effects were transient.

Preliminary studies on the antifertility effect of pawpaw seeds (Carica papaya) on the gonads of male albino (Wistar) rats was investigated. An oral dose of crude ripe pawpaw seeds at 100 mg/kg body weight and 50 mg/kg body weight were administered orally for 8 weeks. Histological observations at a

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Declines due to __Papaya ringspot virus__ (PRSV) are the primary constraint limiting production of papaya (__Carica papaya__ L.) in tropical and subtropical regions. Given the lack of suitable sources of resistance in the genus, transgenic papayas carrying the coat prote
