Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy should embryo size and development guide laboratory rescue of a mango cross?
Immature embryos at different developmental stages do not necessarily respond equally to culture. Mango rescue research selects and studies developmental stages to obtain plantlets before normal seed maturity. Coordinate collection with the receiving laboratory rather than sending an arbitrary assortment of fruitlets. The useful sample is an embryo at a stage the procedure can support, not simply the smallest fruit available.
