Abstract : The development and maturation of mango fruits and seeds were studied using fruits harvested at 20-day intervals starting at 70 days after flowering. Fruit FW increased rapidly, between 70 and 90 days. Fruit size reached its maximum around 90 days. FW of seeds and cotyledons increased continuously between 70 and 110 days. The seeds were mature at 110 days, with a germination rate of 97%. Seed dehydration occurred after maturation.
