Abstract : This chapter discusses the current state of mango cell culture, gene cloning, and manipulation of cell cultures to address plant breeding objectives by genetic engineering. Specific topics that are covered consisted of: cell and tissue culture (organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, and protoplast isolation and culture), molecular breeding and genetics (marker-assisted selection, gene cloning and genomics), genetic engineering (in vitro induced mutations and genetic transformation), and in vitro conservation (medium-term storage and long-term storage).
