Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy can a mango collection contain many accessions but fewer distinct genotypes?
Separate introductions or trees can represent repeated clones, even when their names and acquisition histories differ. Genotyping can help estimate that repetition. Preserve accession identities while linking confirmed relationships, since historical records still matter. Collection size by tree count answers a management question; diversity available for choosing breeding parents depends on the underlying genetic representation.
