Mango Breeding in India - Past and Future

The mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important tropical fruits of India in which improvement has been attempted since the early 20th Century. The species, M. indica, having originated in India, has a large diversity within the country. Extensive surveys have located several wild specie...
