Josh Lomax also developed and implemented the <a href="https://bit.ly/papaya-liking" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Papaya liking predictor</a> – an interactive tool that demonstrates the use of the model to predict papaya flavour, which can be used by the papaya industry to make informed decisions for fruit breeding and grading.</p>https://aggenomics.net/project/crops/Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://aggenomics.net/project/crops/<p>Crop genomics projects, including the genomic, matabolomic and sensory characterisation of flavour profiles in papaya, and genomics and transcriptomics analyses to identify genes and markers for disease resistance in chilli, rice, lentil and chickpea.</p>
