  • Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 131(2):214–224. 2006. Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers R.J. Schnell1, J.S. Brown, C.T. Olano, and A.W. Meerow National Germplasm Repository, USDA, ARS, SHRS, 13601 Old Cutler Road, Miami, FL 33158 R.J. Campbell Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, FL 33156 D.N. 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.

  • Mite Pests (Acari) in Mango (Mangifera Indica L.) Plantations and Implementation of Control Strategy
    Bioscience and Bioengineering Vol. 1, No. 3, 2015, pp. 41-47 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/bio Mite Pests (Acari) in Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Plantations and Implementation of Control Strategy Muhammad Sarwar * Nuclear Institute for Agriculture & Biology (NIAB), Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan Abstract This publication describes the major mite pests of mango ( Mangifera indica L.), gives their identifying characteristics, control methods and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies. Mango is a leading fruit and without hesitation it is among the greatest essential fruits developed in our world. It is indeed a fruit with an enormous monetary prospective that can be vastly profitable to the growers. Mango is attacked by various types of maladies causing serious problems, among which are the arthropods including mite pests which bear 4 pairs of legs contrary to insects having 3 pairs of legs. The most important mite pests attacking on mango are Mango Bud mite Eriophyes mangiferae (Sayed), Red mite Aceria mangiferae Sayed, Spider mite Oligonychus mangiferus (Rhaman and Sapra), Broad mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) and Erinose mite Aceria litchii (Keiffer). These species of mites primarily infest to the surface of leaves and remove leaf juices causing a stippling or etching of the host. The attacked leaves frequently become reddish or bronze in color, may drop and yield can be greatly reduced. The feedings of these mites lead to physiological problems within cell sap for ensuing the irregular development, and additionally the origin of damage also provides entry site for the fungus resulting nutritional dis-balance in the various plant parts. In this context, the orchards may be checked quite repeatedly for any malady from time to time and good orchard management practices occupy paramount importance and play a vital role in checking of pests.
