Abstract

The passion fruit genus, Passiflora, comprises more than 500 species that are admired for their ornate flowers and tropical-tasting fruit. The yellow or purple colored P. edulis Sims. is the most commercially important. Passion fruit vines are challenged by both abiotic and biotic stresses. Understanding the available genetic diversity allows breeders to combine favorable traits into elite cultivars.
