“…Characterization of newly bred hybrids is of utmost importance for registration and protection of these mango hybrid varieties. DUS guidelines are one such approach to assist this and are widely utilized in many fruit crops (Krishna et al, 2016;Wani et al, 2017;Sridhar and Babu, 2017;Bhamini et al, 2018;Dinesh et al, 2018;Molla et al, 2019;Jena et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022 andRasool et al, 2022). DUS traits given in guidelines for the conduct of test for distinctiveness, uniformity and stability on mango are considered stable traits and less affected by environmental conditions.…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is adored by people owing to its delicious taste, aroma, sugar acid blend, attractive fruit and nutritional value. In the present investigation, genetic diversity among 24 mango hybrids bred at ICAR- Indian Agricultural Research Institute was observed using 11 quantitative and 16 qualitative traits as per the DUS guidelines on mango. Hybrids showed significant differences for leaf, inflorescence, panicle and fruit attributes. The maximum leaf area was recorded in H-4-8 (101.99 cm²) and only two categories of leaf blade shapes were observed among hybrids. Most of the hybrids (91.6%) showed the presence of twisting leaf blade except H-3-2 and H-4-8. Pusa Manohari had the maximum anthocyanin coloration of rachis. Pusa Pratibha bloomed earliest, whereas Pusa Lalima showed earliest fruit maturity among hybrids. The maximum fruit weight and length (336.44 g, 14.56 cm) were observed in Mallika. Petiole length, leaf area, leaf blade length, leaf blade width and inflorescence width were recorded as highly diverse traits among mango hybrids. Results indicated that four superior hybrids, viz., H-4-8, NH-17-4, NH-18-4 and Pusa Arunima depicted strong peel chrominance which was majorly associated with export markets and consumer acceptance. The UPGMA dendrogram based on K–clustering grouped mango hybrids in to two major clusters. DUS fingerprint was generated using 16 qualitative traits. These would be helpful in the identification of these hybrids precisely. The information generated in the present study has significance in the conservation, cultivar improvement, protection and utilization of mango hybrids in future.
