The species , , and have great economic value due to the use of their fruits for human consumption. In this study, we compared the repetitive genome fractions of these three species. The compositions of the repetitive DNA of these three species' genomes were analyzed using clustering and identification of the repetitive sequences with RepeatExplorer.

- The 45S rDNA serves as a key chromosomal marker for studying the genetics of Passiflora, with PCR amplification being more effective than traditional methods for locating it in chromosomes.
- Low-coverage sequencing of three Passiflora species revealed similar 18S and 26S rDNA sequences, and cytological localization of 26S rDNA was confirmed in P. edulis and related species.
- The study established a connection between CMA banding patterns and GC content, indicating that both GC quantity and structure play roles in chromosomal behavior.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on Passiflora edulis, a plant with significant agricultural importance, using advanced genomics techniques to analyze its repetitive DNA elements and their roles in genome evolution.
- - Researchers identified three clusters of satellite DNAs and seven clusters of Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) retrotransposons, mapping their locations on chromosomes, revealing insights into their distribution and significance.
- - Findings indicated that P. edulis has a complex, repetitive genome, particularly rich in Ty3/Gypsy LTR retrotransposons, which could serve as valuable genetic markers for studying evolutionary relationships within the Passiflora species.
Background: A great interest exists in the production of hybrid plants of the genus Passiflora given the beauty and exotic features of its flowers which have ornamental value. Hybrid paternity confirmation is therefore important for assuring germplasm origin, and is typically carried out by molecular marker segregation. The aim of this study was to karyotypically characterize the chromosome heritance patterns of the progeny resultant from a cross of P.
