Brazil is considered to be the main center for genetic diversity of species of Passiflora and is the largest producer and consumer of “yellow” passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa O. Deg) in the world. Due to anthropic activity in native areas of wild specimens and because the average yield for the passion fruit crop is well below its productive potential, there is a need for genetic research aimed at the conservation and improvement of these species of Passiflora.
