Abstract excerpt
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high-yielding cultivars, on-farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor. To ensure the development of cultivars with stable and enhanced yields...
