Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan nursery culling make a variable mango seed lot appear genetically uniform?
Yes. A finished group may look consistent because unusual or weak plants were removed earlier. Retain the original population count and the reasons for culling when describing uniformity. Distinguish the appearance of the selected nursery product from the variation present at emergence. Neither observation independently establishes that every retained plant is a maternal clone.
