Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow can mislabeled mango reference trees undermine a genetic identification project?
A reference match is only as useful as the reference's identity. Preserve acquisition history, sampled-tree identity, and any uncertainty before assigning a cultivar name to matching material. If the reference is later corrected, review the dependent identifications. Genetic similarity may be sound while the attached name is wrong, so laboratory results and collection provenance need to remain connected.
