Grafting & PropagationWhy is premature germination a problem in mango somatic-embryo production?
An embryo that starts germinating before completing normal maturation may develop abnormally instead of becoming a useful plant. Mango experiments have addressed this by managing the maturation stage separately from germination. Assess embryo form and developmental readiness before changing stages. Fast visible growth is not necessarily progress when the process needs coordinated development of the structures that will support an independent plant.
