Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhat records make a mango germplasm accession useful beyond its name?
Retain its collection origin, source person or institution, acquisition date, identifying photographs, and a stable accession number. Add measured traits with dates, locations, and methods so later users can judge the observations. Keep original labels even when an identity is revised, linking the revision to its evidence. A collection becomes more valuable for breeding when its plants and observations can be compared without reconstructing their history from memory.
