Grafting & PropagationDoes micropropagating a mango cotyledonary node automatically clone the fruit's mother tree?
The cultured node belongs to the embryo from which it was taken. If that embryo is sexual, multiplying its shoots reproduces that seedling rather than establishing a clone of the fruit's mother tree. Preserve embryo identity through culture initiation. A successful multiplication method and proof of maternal genetic identity are separate requirements when laboratory plants are intended as named clonal material.
