Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDoes a normal chromosome count prove that an interspecific mango hybrid is commercially useful?
No. Chromosome observations help characterize the hybrid, but they do not measure its fertility, fruit quality, or orchard productivity. Mango interspecific research combines cytology with other observations and molecular confirmation. Treat a compatible chromosome count as one piece of evidence. Advance a hybrid on the traits needed for its intended use rather than assuming cytological similarity guarantees horticultural suitability.
