Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow should parents be chosen for a mango breeding project?
Begin with a clear target, such as improved eating quality combined with manageable architecture or disease tolerance. Choose parents using measured traits and their genetic relationship where information is available. Two individually attractive parents may not supply complementary strengths for the intended market and climate. Write down the reason for each pairing before making it, then retain that rationale when evaluating the resulting family.
