| Abstract:
A description and results of mango cultivar and rootstock breeding projects are presented. Analysis of the distribution of traits among three open-pollination populations of mango seedlings as well as correlations between traits and the contribution of parents to progeny are given. Although in general the trait distribution pattern is similar among the three progenies, some differences were noted. In addition, there were some correlations among various traits which might be useful for future breeding. It was concluded from both a chi-square test and an intraclass correlation coefficient that there is a specific female parent effect on both harvest season and fruit colour; a smaller effect was found on fruit taste and size, and no effect of the female parent tree was detected on the distribution of either the juvenile period or fertility. First seedling selections of rootstocks resistant to growth on calcareous soils are described. | |
