| Brief Description | This study is under the project "Institutionalizing a Sustainable Fruit Crops Germplasm Collection and Commercialization for Climatic Change Adaptation, Biodiversity Conservation, Health Promotion, Agri-Ecotourism and Income Generation". Major Activities include: 1. On-site Morphological Characterization On-site selection of commercially important fruit cultivars with desirable horticultural traits will be done. The IPGRI Descriptors' List for Fruits will be used to characterize the different collections. The plant or tree, whole fruit, leaf, and flowers will be characterized. The fruits will be characterized when fully ripen using 5-10 representative samples. Fruit quality characteristics such as fruit size, flavor, aroma, flesh and skin texture and fiber are generally of high importance. The data gathered from the measurement of the vegetative and reproductive characters will be subjected to analysis. The promising fruit crop genotypes will be re-assessed for three years. 2. Evaluation for Priority Horticultural Traits The different fruit crop genotypes will be evaluated for yield performance, better shelf life, adaptations to environmental pressures, and resistance to pests and diseases. The desired horticultural traits will also be re-evaluated for 3 years. 3. Documentation Passport and characterization data of the mango and other fruit germplasm will be documented using a standard database. |
