Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDoes a highly heritable mango trait remain unchanged by growing conditions?
No. Heritability describes genetic contributions to variation in the population and environments studied; it does not mean each fruit expresses an invariant value. Mango breeding studies have estimated heritability for several fruit dimensions and quality traits. Use that information to plan selection while retaining repeated measurements, appropriate references, and the conditions under which the estimate was obtained.
