Flavonoids Accumulation in Fruit Peel and Expression Profiling of Related Genes in Purple (<i>Passiflora edulis</i> f. <i>edulis</i>) and Yellow (<i>Passiflora edulis</i> f. <i>flavicarpa</i>) Passion Fruits
Flavonoids play a key role as a secondary antioxidant defense system against different biotic and abiotic stresses, and also act as coloring compounds in various fruiting plants. In this study, fruit samples of purple (<i>Passiflora edulis</i> f. <i>edulis</i>) and yellow (&l...

Flavonoids play a key role as a secondary antioxidant defense system against different biotic and abiotic stresses, and also act as coloring compounds in various fruiting plants. In this study, fruit samples of purple (<i>Passiflora edulis</i> f. <i>edulis</i>) and yellow (<i>Passiflora edulis</i> f. <i>flavicarpa</i>) passion fruit were collected at five developmental stages (i.e., fruitlet, green, veraison, maturation, and ripening stage) from an orchard located at Nanping, Fujian, China.
