Randomized trial evaluates fruit and stone traits affecting germination in mango genotypes, suggesting implications for cultivation.

The study aims to explore the relationship between fruit and stone morphology and early reproductive traits in mango genotypes.
Evaluated 260 fruits from two mango genotypes, 'Olour' and 'Kurukkan', for various morphological traits.
Conducted correlation and allometric analyses to assess associations between traits.
Utilized logistic and Poisson generalized linear models to analyze influences on germination and polyembryony.
Significant variability in mass-based fruit and stone traits; varietal differences noted.
Correlation analysis showed strong associations among most traits; stone length had weak differentiation.
Less than 1% of variation in germination and polyembryony was explained by morphological traits.

Jain et al. (2026) studied this question.
