Researchers from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) are watching, just over one month, the development of a passion that grows in the shape of the male sexual organ. The fruit was planted two years ago by a housewife Maria Aguiar Rodrigues de Farias, 53, in a bucket in his backyard,in San Jose de Ribamar (MA).
According to her report by researchers at Embrapa, the fruit was born in January with only the shape of a penis. "She told us that passion arises in the oval and then develops with that format. It is the first time we have news of a product with these characteristics here in Maranhão," Cavallari said Marcelo, a research plant genetic resources at Embrapa.

Cavallari also said the housekeeper's daughter received the seed of passion. "Neither was seen as the fruit originates, which could help us in the search. We can not confirm what actually happened to the passion, but we believe it could be someone from a genetic mutation. Like all fruits have the same format the possibility of malformation is less possible. "
The passion fruit that are in the backyard of the housewife has a green coloration. "It looks healthy, not sick. Taking the format, is healthy. The maturation time is usually a month to a month and a half, but is taking longer to mature," Cavallari said.
Antonia Filomena de Carvalho, coordinator of Plant Protection of Agricultural Protection Agency of the State of Maranhão, visited the home of Maria Rodriguez has in January this year. "We are unable to assess what happened to the passion, so driven researchers from Embrapa. We then have a second site visit with them."
"It's pretty big, it is quite thick. Enough to have between 15 and 20 cmlong. There is no reason for the passion fruit is not consumed because of the format, but also do not know how it is inside, "Cavallari said.


He explained that the existence of passion fruit shaped like a penis caught the attention of local residents, which would have frightened Maria Rodrigues and hindering the scientific access to the fruit. "In order to do further research about what happened to the passion, she must sign a waiver prior consent of the provider, which will allow us to do analysis with the fruit. We are in the process of conversation, since she is scared drive her home.
Therefore, the housewife Maria Aguiar Rodrigues Farias, 53, is charging a rate of visitation passion that he has planted in her backyard, in San Josede Ribamar (MA), two years ago. Interest in planting small it was motivated by the fruit that grows in the shape of the male sexual organ.
"Since we discovered it had a fruit well in my backyard, many people began to want to see with their own eyes. It was a lot of people even. The problem is that to get to the backyard, people had to go inside my house. In one of these visits, they took my phone, "said Dona Maria.
After the damage caused by petty theft, the housewife decided to limit visitation. "I started to charge $ 2 for visitors, $ 15 for taking photographs, and $ 20 to shoot," she said.
Dona Maria said that the passion is in full production. "There's too much passion. He has over 40 fruits there. They are yellowing as they mature. "



Until the first passion fruit penis-shaped appear in her yard, life was quiet and calm, but after the unusual planting, the housewife has to be recognized on the street where you live. "It was a lot of people in my house. I even go without eating to get a look at all the people who did visit, "she said.
Asked if such a passion proved the phallic, Mary responded, initially, that had proved fruit. "I ate the flesh, which seems melon or avocado. I cut lengthwise and experience. It is not bitter nor sour nor too sweet, is soft. "
But then, Mary turned back, amidst laughter, saying that neither she nor her family has had the courage to experience the taste of the unusual fruit. "We do not eat yet, no. But since I planted, planted to eat, not to leave the tree, "said the housewife.
Cavallari said he can do a search on the Germplasm Bank "Passion Flower", the Federal District, which houses the largest collection of Passiflora (passion fruit) in the world, according to Embrapa. The collection of more than 150 species of passion fruit. "Just doing a comparison in order to better understand what happened to the fruit and whether there were other similar records in the country."
