Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan mango aroma and fruit size be improved together, or must one always be sacrificed?
Genomic research has identified distinct regions associated with aspects of fruit weight and aroma, supporting investigation of combinations that improve both. This does not guarantee that a particular cross will deliver them. Measure the traits separately in offspring and retain desirable recombinations. An observed tradeoff in existing cultivars should guide selection rather than become an assumed biological rule.
