Brazil is the world´s main passionfruit grower, producing about 1 million tons, in around 50 thousand hectares. The commercial species, named yellow passionfruit (Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa) belongs to the genus Passiflora, which includes about 400 species, most originated in the Neotropics, mainly in South America. Despite its economical importance, there is a gap in knowledge abo…
An important issue in plant biology is how morphological novelties are produced during evolution. The genus Passiflora represents an example of plants that display complex structures whose origins have not been elucidated yet, such as the floral corona filaments and the tendrils that grow in the axils of the leaves, next to a flower bud. Adult plants of Passiflora edulis constantly produc…
This project will combine resources and expertise from the UK and from the Brazilian partners to clarify how key regulatory genes co-ordinate cell cycle progression and cell growth/expansion in plant organ primordia. Specifically, we will: 1. use quantitative 3D analysis of cell geometry and cell cycle progression to test the following hypotheses: a) coupling of cell size and cell cycle a…

Brazil is the world's leading producer of passion fruit, with almost 1 million tons, obtained from about 50 thousand hectares. The passion fruit (Passiflora edulis var. Flavicarpa) belongs to the genus Passiflora, which is composed of about 600 species, distributed mainly in South America. Despite its importance, there is a lack of knowledge about passion fruit development and its reprodu…
