Mango fruit is classed as a drupe (fleshy with a single
seed enclosed in a leathery endocarp). Fruits from different
varieties can be highly variable in shape, color, taste,
and flesh texture. Fruit shapes vary from round to ovate to
oblong and long with variable lateral compression. Fruits
can weigh from less than 50 g (0.35 lb) to over 2 kg (4.4
lb).The fruit has a dark green background color when developing
on the tree that turns lighter green to yellow as
it ripens. Some varieties develop a red background color at
fruit set that remains until the fruits ripen. In addition to
the background color, many varieties also have an orange,
red, or burgundy blush that develops later in the fruit development,when
the rind is exposed to direct sunlight.The
mesocarp is the fleshy, edible part of the fruit that usually
has a sweet and slightly turpentine flavor. When ripe, its
color varies from yellow to orange and its texture from
smooth to fibrous.
Seed
Mango varieties can be classified as having either
monoembryonic or polyembryonic seed embryos. In
monoembryonic varieties, the seed contains only one embryo
thatis a true sexual(zygotic) embryo.Monoembryonic
seeds are a cross between the maternal and paternal (pollen)
parents. Fruit from monoembryonic seedlings will often
vary from the parent trees,so propagation by grafting is
used to produce true-to-type monoembryonic trees. Polyembryonic
seeds contain many embryos, most of which
are asexual (nucellar) in origin and genetically identical to
the maternal parent. Polyembryonic seeds also contain a
zygotic embryo that is the result of cross-pollination.The
monoembryonic seedling usually has less vigor than a nua handful of improved varieties supplemented with local
varieties that are less suited to the export trade.
