Despite the ecological and economic importance of passion fruit (Passiflora spp.), molecular
markers have only recently been utilized in genetic studies of this genus. In addition, both …

The DNA fingerprinting of fruit crops, based on DNA microsatellite markers that are
considered to be the key markers for the molecular analysis of germplasm collections, is …

Genetic variation among sweet, purple, and yellow passion fruit accessions was assessed
using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Eighteen ISSR primers were used to …

With more than 500 species, most of them occurring in the Neotropical region, the genus
Passiflora is of key importance when one considers exploring biodiversity for food and …

Abstract Background The Passiflora genus comprises hundreds of wild and cultivated
species of passion fruit used for food, industrial, ornamental and medicinal purposes. Efforts …

The genus Passiflora contains more than 450 species, most of them native to the tropics and
subtropics of the New World. While only 12 Passiflora species are cultivated, only 1 species …

The characterization of genetic variability is important for conservation and biodiversity as
well as the strategies and research techniques that contribute to such characterizations of …

This study evaluated P. edulis f. edulis intraspecific variation at DNA level using AFLPs and
SSRs. About 60 specimens were collected from Colombian commercial plantations in the …

• Premise of the study: We developed the first microsatellites for Passiflora setacea and
characterized new sets of markers for P. edulis and P. cincinnata, enabling further genetic …

Passiflora edulis Sims, which is native to South America, stands out as a passion fruit
species with major potential for fruit production and marketing. This species is popularly …
