Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhat does segregation mean in a mango breeding family?
Segregation is the expression of different inherited combinations among offspring from a cross. A family can vary in fruit form, flesh traits, and embryo type rather than reproducing one intermediate mango. Studies of mango progenies document that range. Retain individual seedlings for evaluation and avoid treating the family's average as the expected description of every member.
