4.12 Conclusions
Until recently, all mango cultivars arose as chance seedlings or as seedling selections from known mother trees. Enthusiasm for controlled hybridiza- tion by means of hand pollination waned because of the tedious nature of the task and heavy fruit drop, resulting in only very few hybrids. This low hybrid population was inadequate for selection and hence not many outstanding hybrids were obtained. However, improvements in pollinating techniques
C.P.A. Iyer and R.J. Schnell 90
and more rapid screening of hybrid populations have enabled the release of many hybrid mango cultivars of commercial value. Because of the world market’s demand for mangoes with specifi c qualities, the synthesis of new cultivars has become imperative. Rapid strides in molecular biology and in other aspects of biotechnology have opened up new approaches in plant breeding. The development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based genetic markers, specifi cally microsatellites, and their application to classical breeding offer tremendous potential for mango improvement. The develop- ment of a saturated linkage map and the identifi cation of QTL for important traits will allow the implementation of a MAS programme. The introduction of specifi c genes for disease resistance from cultivars and wild species into popular cultivars should soon be a reality. Without resorting to these new technologies, mango breeding will continue to be a slow process.
