Among the cultures that make up fruit growing, passiculture stands out, through the socioeconomic importance that is used to it. Due to its importance, research is aimed at improving passion fruit in order to increase the productive potential of orchards by using more productive cultivars that adapt to the various growing regions. Based on these advances, the present study aims to characterize the main yellow passion fruit cultivars recorded and marketed. Among the characteristics of the new cultivars, the resistance of the main diseases of the crop, cultivars developed to meet the demand of the industry, as well as the increase in pulp yield, stand out. Therefore, it is concluded that by incorporating new vegetative materials into the market, there is an appreciation of the fruit, which can be classified already at the time of selection of the cultivar as to its aptitude. In the same way, there is an increase in productivity when using appropriate management techniques in line with cultivars adapted to the most distinct environmental conditions.
