Effect of training system and climate conditions on phytochemicals of Passiflora setacea, a wild Passiflora from Brazilian savannah

Food Chemistry, 2018
Passiflora setacea is a Brazilian savannah fruit known as a good source of phytochemicals. The phytochemical composition is influenced by environmental factors and management techniques such as training system. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of training system (espalier or trellis) and environmental factors (temperature, precipitation and ...

In Vitro Culture and Phytochemical Analysis of Passiflora tenuifila Killip and Passiflora setacea DC (Passifloraceae)

2016
We have developed reproducible micropropagation, callus culture, phytochemical, and antioxidant analysis protocols for the wild passion fruit species P. tenuifila, and P. setacea, native to the Brazilian endangered biomes Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, and Caatinga, by using seeds and explants from seedlings and adult plants.

Effect of Passiflora setacea juice and its phenolic metabolites on insulin resistance markers in overweight individuals and on microglial cell activity

Food & Function, 2022
Passiflora setacea (PS), a fruit from the Brazilian biodiversity rich in polyphenols. PS juice reduced insulin, IL-6 levels and HOMA IR in humans. And its phenolic metabolites increased activity of PPAR-γ in BV-2 cells.

Response ofPassiflora setaceato Mycorrhization and Phosphate Fertilization in a Semiarid Region of Brazil

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2015
The Caatinga is a unique biome that encompasses nearly 11% of Brazil's territory and contains diverse vegetation composed of trees and bushes that have been scarcely studied from the economic perspective. In this context, Passiflora setacea may constitute a strategic alternative for agriculture because it produces fruit that has commercial potential ...

Pre‐harvest factors related to sensory profile of Passiflora setacea nectars, a wild passion fruit from Brazilian savannah

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2018
ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDPassiflora setacea DC. is a passion fruit species native from Brazilian savannah characterized by naturally sweet sensory characteristics. The sensory quality of the pulp can be affected by the growing environment. The effect of training systems (trellis or espalier), seasons (the weather conditions in periods of drought and rain) and

Reproductive strategy and the effect of floral pillagers on fruit production of the passion flower Passiflora setacea cultivated in Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Botany, 2019
Most flowering plant species, including those under cultivation, are pollinated by animals. The passion flower (Passiflora setacea DC.) variety BRS Perola do Cerrado is apparently dependent on pollinators for the production of its fruits; however, very little is known about its reproductive biology.

Molecular genetic diversity and differentiation of populations of ‘somnus’ passion fruit trees (Passiflora setacea DC): Implications for conservation and pre-breeding

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2015
Abstract The ‘somnus’ passion fruit tree ( Passiflora setacea ) is native to the ‘Cerrado’ and ‘Caatinga’ biomes in Brazil and possesses agrobiological and commercial traits of interest. Studies examining the nature of genetic variability in natural populations are important for the utilization of these traits in conservation and breeding programs ...
