Flowering & PollinationWhat does floral meristem identity mean in mango flowering research?
It concerns the developmental program by which a growing point forms a flower rather than continuing an ordinary vegetative structure. Mango research on LEAFY-related regulation examines this commitment and subsequent floral development. Distinguish it from pollen transfer or fruit retention, which happen later. A study of meristem identity can explain flower formation without establishing whether those flowers will reproduce successfully in an orchard.
