Common Names: passionflower, purple granadilla
Researchers identified and studied 34 HD-ZIP genes in passion fruit, finding PeHB31 enhances drought tolerance in transgenic plants by increasing lignin content. This could lead to improved understanding of lignin biosynthesis control mechanisms.
Researchers investigated the role of CaM and CML proteins in regulating passion fruit growth, stress responses, and other processes. Understanding these mechanisms can help improve crop productivity and quality.
