Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy must mango embryo rescue be planned before the fruit reaches normal harvest maturity?
The purpose can be to recover an embryo before a vulnerable fruit is lost, so the useful collection window differs from harvesting a mature mango for eating. Published breeding work cultures embryos taken from immature fruit. Coordinate developmental staging with the laboratory and retain the cross identity. Waiting for ordinary ripeness may defeat the reason for using rescue.
