Passiflora · Passionflower

Passiflora, commonly known as passionflower, is a plant traditionally used in various cultures for its purported calming and sedative effects. However, there are no specific traditional uses or practices recorded for Passiflora itself. Scientific evidence suggests that certain components of the plant may have beneficial properties; for instance, a novel Sphingomonas species isolated from passionfruit leaves shows potential for promoting plant health through volatile organic compounds. Additionally, Passiflora edulis Sims peel fermentation polysaccharide (PP-FP) has been shown to reduce UVB-induced oxidative stress and enhance skin barrier integrity in both cell cultures and mice. Genetic studies have revealed substantial genetic diversity among 88 Passiflora genotypes using iPBS markers, while PeMYB6 and PeMYB114 compete with PebHLH42 to influence anthocyanin biosynthesis. To date, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
