The mango fruit is a fl eshy drupe, consisting of skin (epicarp) and edible fl esh
(mesocarp) surrounding a fi brous, hard stone (endocarp) containing a single seed.
The seed may be either monoembryonic or polyembryonic, with fruit of the
former classifi ed as Indian and the latter as Indo-Chinese (Yahia et al. , 2006a).
Indian mango types tend to have roundish fruit with varying amounts of red
anthocyanin pigment in the skin that develops in response to light (‘blush’) while
Indo-Chinese types are usually elongated and solid green or yellow when ripe.
Because hybridization occurs easily between the two types, mango cultivars exist
with wide ranges of genotypic and phenotypic variation.
There are large differences in size, shape, appearance and physiological
characteristics between different cultivars. For example, the average weight
of different mango fruit cultivars ranges from less than 80 to more than 800 g
