Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow should a breeder preserve the pedigree of several seedlings extracted from one hand-crossed mango fruit?
Link each seedling to the fruit and cross record while keeping separate plant identifiers. In polyembryonic material, a documented pollination does not establish that every resulting plant is a sexual hybrid. Preserve siblings through verification and assessment. This prevents an accurate record of the pollination event from becoming an inaccurate claim about the genetic origin of every seedling.
