Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhat is a reciprocal mango cross?
It uses the same two parents in opposite roles: one cross has the first cultivar as the seed parent, and the other has the second. Comparing them can reveal whether cross direction affects the resulting family. Mango genetic studies have evaluated reciprocal combinations. Keep the direction explicit instead of merging both families under a label that merely lists the two parent names.
