“…In most research to date on tissue cultures in Passiflora, the explants come from in vitro regenerated seedlings of the zygotic embryo (da de Carvalho et al, 2017;de Faria et al, 2018b;Dornelas & Vieira, 1994;Fernando et al, 2007;Guzzo et al, 2004;Isutsa, 2004;Jafari et al, 2016;Otoni et al, 2013;Rocha et al, 2012;Trevisan & Mendes, 2005;Veeramohan et al, 2013;Vieira et al, 2014) to prevent crop contamination. Experiments were also performed in which the explants were taken from mature plants, grown in the greenhouse or in the field (Becerra et al, 2004;Prithviraj, et al 2015;Shobha, 2015;Ragavendran et al, 2012;Rathod et al, 2014).…”
