Abstract
‘Noel’s Special’, a vegetatively propagated yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa) with unusually bright orangecolored juice and tolerance to alternaria brown spot (Alternaria passiflorae Simmons) was released in 1978 (Ito, 1978). The original ‘Noel’s Special’ was selected in 1968 from open-pollinated seedlings of a single plant grown in an abandoned farm in Hilo, Hawaii. According to Ito (1978), ‘Noel’s Special’ produces ≤88% marketable fruit in a single season. Fruit were round and yellow and weighed between 56 to 102 g. The pulp color was deep orange, with 43% to 56% juice recovery; total soluble solids concentration (SSC) ranged between 15.0% to 19.8%. The selection was named after Noel Fujimoto, a deceased graduate student who brought attention to the original plant (Ito, 1978). However, ‘Noel’s Special’ was lost for >10 years.
