Impact of pH and temperature on the colour and betalain content of Colombian yellow pitaya peel (Selenicereus megalanthus) [PDF]
Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2016 The effects of different pHs (4, 5 and 6), temperatures (4, 20 and 80 °C) and storage (up to 12 days) on differential tristimulus colorimetry and betalain content related to the colour of yellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus) have been investigated.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the autotetraploid yellow pitaya provides novel insights into evolution of trait patterning in pitaya species with different ploidy [PDF]
Genome BiologyYellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus, 2n = 4x = 44) breeding remains severely hindered due to the lack of a reference genome.Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of yellow pitaya using PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding technologies.

Metabolic Profiling of Sugars and Organic Acids, and Expression Analyses of Metabolism-Associated Genes in Two Yellow-Peel Pitaya Species [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Sugar and organic acids are important factors determining pitaya fruit quality. However, changes in sugars and acids, and expressions of metabolism-associated genes during fruit maturation of yellow-peel pitayas are not well-documented. In this study, metabolic and expression analyses in pulps of different fruit developmental stages of ‘Wucihuanglong’ (

Impact of Water Activity on Physical Stability and Bioactive Compound Retention in Yellow Pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus) Pulp Powder [PDF]
FoodsYellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus) pulp is rich in phenolic compounds with antioxidant capacity and exhibits desirable sensory properties. Dehydration and grinding into powder may enhance stability and broaden the potential for export and industrial applications. In this study, freeze-drying was used to obtain yellow pitaya pulp powder, which was

Fruit Development and Ripening in Yellow Pitaya [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1998 Changes occurring during fruit ripening and duration of fruit development were studied in Selenicereus megalanthus (Scum. ex Vaupel) Moran (yellow pitaya), a climbing cactus grown in protected structures at three sites in the Israeli Negev desert. During ripening, peel color turned from green

Reproductive phenology of yellow pitaya in a high-altitude tropical region in Brazil
Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2020 Pitaya species cultivation in Brazil is recent, and information on the production of the species Selenicereus megalanthus, known as yellow pitaya, is non-existent because research in the country has focused on the species Hylocereus undatus. The research was carried out with the objective of evaluating the reproductive phenology of the species S ...

NPK application in yellow pitaya seedlings grown on sand and organic compost
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2019 Brazil is considered one of the largest fruit producers in the world and one of the fruit groups that has stood out is that of exotic ones, such as the yellow pitaya (Hylocereus megalanthus); however, there are only incipient studies related to this crop. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of an NPK fertilizer formulation (N-P2O5-
