Phytochemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Passiflora spp. Germplasm Grown in Ecuador [PDF]
Tropical fruits are in high demand for their flavor and for their functional composition because these compounds are considered nutraceuticals. Passion fruit production is of economic importance to Ecuador; however, several Passiflora species are grown ...

Advances in passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) propagation [PDF]
The propagation of many passion fruit species (Passiflora spp.) is done by seeds or sexual method, although asexual propagation, such stem cuttings, grafting or tissue culture is also possible and very useful in many cases. In this work, it was presented

Procrustean pseudo-landmark methods in Python to measure massive quantities of leaf shape data. [PDF]
Abstract Premise When examining leaf shapes that are different from one another, it can be difficult to compare both the overall leaf shape and points along the leaf margin in biologically and statistically meaningful ways. Methods To address this problem, we present a simple and user‐friendly leaf shape analysis method in Jupyter Notebook and Python ...

Transmisssion Dynamics of Enterococcus spp. Throughout the Heliconius erato phyllis (Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae) Life Cycle [PDF]
Enterococcus spp. dominate the gut microbiota of Heliconius erato phyllis, transmitted horizontally via host plants (Passiflora suberosa) and persisting through development. Multidrug‐resistant strains were found in larvae and plants, suggesting environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance. This study reveals key microbial transmission dynamics

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects. [PDF]
Abstract 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 ...

Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees [PDF]
We conducted a molecular ecology experiment to determine foraging of stingless bees and potential exposure routes for aerially applied pesticides. We found that 27% of forager bees brought back Bti to the hive, and that this is a major route for pesticide exposure.

Compositional and Bioactive Characterization of Industrial Fruit Wastes in Sri Lanka. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The potential of industrial fruit processing wastes for nutritional and bioactive applications was evaluated. A survey of four major fruit processors in Sri Lanka identified pineapple (Ananas comosus), mango (Mangifera indica L.), papaya (Carica papaya), and passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) as the most processed fruits, generating waste ...
