Kuhn Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Mangifera indica, cultivar identifi cation, SSR markers, mango breeding, parentage analysis ABSTRACT. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) germplasm can be classifi ed by origin with the primary groups being cultivars selected from the centers of diversity for the species, India and Southeast Asia, and those selected in Florida and other tropical and subtropical locations. Accessions have also been classifi ed by horticultural type: cultivars that produce monoembryonic seed vs. cultivars that produce polyembryonic seed. In this study we used 25 microsatellite loci to estimate genetic diversity among 203 unique mangos (M. indica), two M. griffi thii Hook. f., and three M. odorata Griff. accessions maintained at the National Germplasm Repository and by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, Fla. The 25 microsatellite loci had an average of 6.96 alleles per locus and an average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.552 for the M. indica population. The total propagation error in the collection (i.e., plants that had been incorrectly labeled or grafted) was estimated to be 6.13%. When compared by origin, the Florida cultivars were more closely related to Indian than to Southeast Asian cultivars.

    Hoja divulgativa Guía ilustrativa de 46 variedades de mango Illustrative guide to 46 mango varieties José Eladio Monge Pérez Universidad de Costa Rica El mango, Mangifera indica L., es una planta de la familia Anacardiaceae, originaria del sudeste de la India y sus islas circunvecinas. Es una especie que se caracteriza por la producción de frutos de excelente calidad, constituyéndose como una de las especies de frutas de clima tropical más importantes; los frutos se destacan por su particular sabor y aroma. Algunos mercados prefieren los frutos de mango de colores vivos o brillantes de la cáscara (amarillo y/o rojo), con una cobertura total de la superficie del fruto, pero otros mercados prefieren frutos que pasan de coloración verde a amarilla cuando están maduros. A continuación, se presentan las fotografías de varias de las variedades de mango evaluadas en la Estación Experimental Agrícola Fabio Baudrit Moreno (EEAFBM), de la Universidad de Costa Rica.
