Regeneration of Plants from Protoplasts of Passiflora Species (Passion Fruit)

The passion fruit is a climbing perennial plant with coiled tendrils. Under cultivation it is normally given support. Flowers are hermaphrodites and insect-pollinated. Most of the Passiflora species are also asexually propagated from cuttings. Recently, clonal propagation by in vitro techniques has been described (Moran Robles 1979; Kantharajah and Dodd 1990; Dornelas and Vieira 1994).KeywordsLiquid CultureSomatic HybridEnzyme MixtureProtoplast IsolationPassion FruitThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
