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 BiologyBackground Yellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus, 2n = 4x = 44) breeding remains severely hindered due to the lack of a reference genome. Results Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of yellow pitaya using PacBio HiFi ...

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.

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.

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
