Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDoes sequencing a mango genome reveal every useful fruit trait?
A genome sequence supplies a reference for studying genes and variation; it is not a complete performance report for every tree. Candidate genes still need evidence connecting them with the traits and environments of interest. Retain reliable fruit and field measurements alongside genomic data. The practical value comes from linking genetic information to observations, rather than assuming that a sequence alone can identify the best cultivar.
