Abstract : The segregation pattern of individuals originating from selfing of several monoembryonic cultivars and one polyembryonic line indicated that polyembryony in mango was under genetic control. All plants originating from monoembryonic cultivars bore monoembryonic fruits. A 1 : 3 monoembryonic to polyembryonic segregation pattern was observed among individuals originated from the polyembryonic line, indicating that polyembryony in mango is under the control of a single dominant gene.
