Genetic analysis of multiple fruit quality traits in mango across sites and years

A key strategy to improve fruit quality and consumer appeal in mangoes is breed trait improvements into new cultivars. There are several traits mango. Knowledge of the heritability relationship among these important for breeding success. This paper implements a linear mixed model analysis including paternal information 13 from mango cultivars planted across three environments assessed over seasons. The analysed were average weight, skin background colour, blush percentage blush, intensity, thickness, beak shape, stem-end deformities, mesocarp texture, seed width recovery. allows investigation heritabilities stability years sites, as well genetic correlations traits.
