Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is a pathogenic plant virus [1] in the genus Potyvirus and the virus family Potyviridae which primarily infects the papaya tree. The virus is a non-enveloped, flexuous rod-shaped particle that is between 760–800 nm long and 12 nm in diameter.
The pathogen can survive in the seed of infected papaya, even after drying, for approximately 30 days (Obrero 1980). Thus far, seed-borne transmission is the predominant method of spread and infection; in fact, studies indicate the pathogen has the ability for long-range dispersal via seed (Ramachandran et al. 2015).
In diseased plants, flowers and fruit are rarely produced and during advanced stages of the disease, the papaya plant becomes denuded except for a few stunted leaves that remain at the apex. [4] If fruit do set during infection, they are bitter tasting and unmarketable. [5] Dieback can occur in some varieties of papaya when infected. [4]

Most claims about the dangers of seed oils tend to focus at least in part on inflammation — more specifically, that seed oils contain large amounts of omega-6s relative to omega-3s.
It can be found in Alliaria petiolata, pilu oil, and papaya seeds [2] where it is the main product of the glucotropaeolin breakdown by the enzyme myrosinase.
Technically, a seed oil is a cooking oil made by pressing seeds to extract the fat. But the current pariahs are canola, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, soy, rice bran, sunflower, and safflower oils.
