Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow can cultured mango material be checked for maternal rather than sexual origin?
Suitable molecular comparisons can test whether a culture or regenerated plant matches the maternal reference at informative markers. Mango research has applied this to embryogenic cultures and regenerated plants, not just ordinary seedlings. Verify the tissue origin before treating the culture as clonal multiplication of a selected parent, particularly when material came from polyembryonic seeds.
