Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan cold after successful mango pollination still prevent a viable breeding embryo?
Yes. Controlled experiments found that low temperatures after hand pollination increased embryo-aborted fruit in the tested material. Successful pollen transfer therefore does not end the vulnerable period. Record early fruit development conditions and follow the cross through viable seed recovery. The finding supports careful interpretation of breeding losses, not a universal temperature threshold for every cultivar.
