Abstract

The mango stands as the foremost and highly favored fruit grown in tropical as well as subtropical regions due to its exceptional versatility, superior nutritional value, captivating flavor and aroma. Despite its prominence, mango yields fall short compared to other fruit crops due to factors like low-density planting, the use of seedling rootstocks, and alternate bearing. A significant hindrance to widespread mango production is the impact of biotic and abiotic stress, which hampers plant growth, leading to eventual plant death. Mitigating this challenge requires a focus on breeding for an ideal rootstock development. This paper delves into the current landscape of rootstock breeding in various regions worldwide, exploring its critical role in shaping the health, growth, and productivity of mango trees.
