Heritability Studies in Mango (Mangifera Indica L.)

Prediction of breeding values for average fruit weight in mango using a multivariate individual mixed model

“…In contrast to our results, other studies (Lavi et al 1998;Dinesh 2003) suggest high non-additive genetic variation for fruit size in mango. However, Lavi et al (1998) assumes a mixed mating system with a selfing rate of 50% which is difficult to verify, and their genetic model does not account for inbreeding depression and other components of dominance genetic variance that arise under inbreeding (Costa e Silva et al 2010).…”

“…This is in general agreement with results from other studies in mango (Prasad 1987;Lavi et al 1989Lavi et al , 1998Dinesh 2003;Brettell et al 2004;Singh et al 2004a, b;AyalaSilva et al 2005) that have reported a high heritability for fruit weight or a large significant genetic effect for this trait even using the alternative analysis methods to that employed in this study (see ''Introduction'').…”

Genetic Variability and Molecular Characterization of Some Local and Imported Mango Cultivars in Egypt

“…This variability is expected as a result of natural crosspollination that is common in mango (Purseglove, 1968). Significant variations in one or more of the characters studied in the present investigation have also been reported previously by Singh (2002), Singh et al (2004), Pradeepkumar et al (2006), Majumder et al (2012) and Dinesh et al (2013).…”

Evaluation of New Mango Varieties in Samtenling, Sarpang

“…In hybridization of the crops heritability of traits are important attributes. Heritability studies in mango have shown that there is a heritability of >0.9 for traits like fruit weight, fruit length, width, thickness and TSS (Dinesh, Vasugi, & Venugopal, 2010). One of the consumer preferences is fruit size and taste of the fruits.…”
