Polyembryonic Vs Monoembryonic Mango Seeds

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I just ate a Monoembryonic Mango fruit and you explained why it had so much flesh. Thanks mate.

[@JessicaVanderhoff]

Thank you, this was so helpful!! I just read a paper on distinguishing the zygote on atulfo (those are the ones I could find in a local grocery store), and I think I understood that for atulfo, vigor is not a reliable indicator, but that if I separate out the embryos, the large embryo should have the highest chance of being the zygote. I might grow them out anyway, but I'll keep them separate and label them.

Very well explained...I came here to see how polyembryony condition looks like Best example for class 12th NCERT Biology

[@miguelsamaniego8435]

Thanks for the info, I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Every day I learn something new. 👍

[@peterodonnell4404]

An excellent explanation, thank you. I live in Veracruz, Mexico, where mangoes seem to grow in every street, if not in people's yards, on the nature strip or where you would otherwise be walking. Every tree seems to be unique. I picked up two mangoes from two distinct trees in my street (of five or six), which grow very different fruit. I am now germinating them to plant. Now, thanks to your explanation, I know that I can expect a lottery of both of them.

[@Nomad97249]

In India also have polyembryoic mangoes but they are not familiar varieties And btw, polyembroyic also means we might have the native/heriloom variety hidden inside as mentioned ( true to the seed)

[@louiseahmedtropicalplantgr5000]

Nice information on poly and mono embryonic seeds. I have the 2 types. I currently have Amrupali mango which is monoembryonic, and Fazli mango which is polyembryonic. I grew the Fazli last year not knowing that about it and was surprised when multiple stems popped up. I've just planted another yesterday as last year's died. Can't wait to see if this one will produce multiple stems too.

[@ritabeitz9598]

Thanks a lot. I am actually interested in finding out which mangos are poly, so I can grow my own trees true to seed. Thanks !

[@aashankhan6895]

Floridan varieties meaning red purple etc are polyembryonic and are true to type while Asiatic varieties are monoembryonic seed donot produce true to type

[@HWLee-vu4hv]

Very informative and educational!

[@PracticalPrimate]

Thanks!

[@carlosfres6677]

Hello. I planted a polyembryonic seed and 5 seedlings came out of it. Three of the seedlings look vigorous. You said that you can separate the most vigorous ones. Do you have a video or method showing how to separate each of the seedlings without damaging any one of them?

[@PracticalPrimate]

I don’t sorry Carlos and it is difficult but possible if they are not yet too large. When you repot just break off most of the soil and you may have one or more fall away from the others. Don’t force them if they don’t come easily, they will most likely break and you risk damaging them both/all.

[@sergebernard]

Great question, I’m in the same predicament. Be gentle in other words if you try to separate them, but if you were to keep all of them together and then plant them in the ground in 6 months or so, what could potentially happen long term? Or is it worth the risk and separate them at a early stage?

[@sisokzero6430]

Oh, here it is. Mine has two seedlings came out of one seed.

[@srlalenpuii5544]

Thanks a lot. For easily understandable

[@swetamaurya8463]

Marvelous explanation 👍👍👍

[@madhavgangavalli]

Never knew about polyembryonic mangoes as our Indian mangoes are all monoembryonic. How do the unfertilized clones compare with grafts? Which are better in the long run?

[@PracticalPrimate]

They are both good :) I really like Australian/Asian style mangos and most of those are poly but as you said, a lot of the Indian cultivars are monoembryonic. If I had to pick a downside there is marginally less flesh in a polyembrynic fruit. On the other hand polyembryonic seeds grow true to type and usually fruit within 3-4 years.

[@qveenissac]

Really great vid. Super informative!

[@oatiko3065]

Which of the polyembryonic seeding do you keep?

[@PracticalPrimate]

With kensington pride (the rootstock I use here) the first seedlings are almost always clones. Different cultivars don’t always follow that rule though, it is cultivar specific.

[@RajYadav-jv1nd]

Very nice information thanks.

[@sandektm]

Very good informative video.

[@martinbenko]

Did you have those seeds of the same variety or they were different variety ? I heard that Indian mangoes have monoembryonic seeds and Indo-Chinese mangoes have polyembryonic. So can you help me and tell what kind of mangoes you had in this video ? Thank you in advance :)

[@PracticalPrimate]

Different varieties, mangoes are usually one or the other. These were a Kensington pride (poly) and a Keitt I think (mono)

[@dawoodsamad7344]

Yes that is true about Indian an Info Chinese seeds.

[@california4775]

India actually has 1000 varieties of mango, many of which are polyembryonic too.

[@chitrasweet5457]

Which one is best dude? Poly or mono?

[@PracticalPrimate]

Either, I like cultivars of both types. Poly is great because you can reproduce the cultivar without grafting but mono generally have smaller seeds. Flavour is a toss up, depends on the cultivar.

[@qkal72]

Great info. Love it

[@sisokzero6430]

I have mango seedlings and one of them has 2 (two) sprouts. I'm confuse which one do I plant or cut or should I grow them both?? Please help.

[@PracticalPrimate]

I’m a bit late I think but depends on the cultivar. Usually the strongest/biggest seedling is very likely a clone.

[@temujinkhan6326]

@@PracticalPrimate A clone of the mother tree? So the biggest one will likely fruit the same as the mango fruit/seed?

[@Eldragonic]

After how many months should I separate seedling

[@PracticalPrimate]

As early as possible is best.

[@chaselex]

Great video. Explains well, and easy to learn from jt

[@adamb.8854]

Hi, i have an Ataulfo/Honey seed which is poly, and i saw that only one shoot came out, but i saw embyos inside as i planted. Is it still poly? PS mono seeds can be big and vigorous too depending variety.

[@PracticalPrimate]

Hi Adam. Yes Ataulfo is poly so it must have been that the others just didn’t make it. And yes definitely, mono can be (and usually is) very vigorous but you don’t know until you grow them :)

Depends on what you are after but for most cultivars the stronger seedlings (from the one seed) are all clones.

[@Offshore1977]

Do you know if Gary mango is monoembryonic?

[@PracticalPrimate]

Gary is monoembryonic.

[@SchallierDieter]

If I have 2 monoembryonic seeds and I let them grow. Can I graft them on each other and will that produce fruit?

[@PracticalPrimate]

You can yes. What you are trying to achieve with them? They would just grow on the new rootstocks just the same.

[@SchallierDieter]

@@PracticalPrimate well, the question is... will it ever have fruit?

[@SchallierDieter]

Or will this take way more years then if I just take a polyembryonic seed (if I can find one)

[@PracticalPrimate]

@@SchallierDieter they will both be seedlings (even though a clone) so will take a similar amount of time. Grafting them on to a mature tree can speed up fruiting but they still have juvenile/young genes and will take longer than Mature scion.

[@SchallierDieter]

@@PracticalPrimate thank you

[@GurvaniAs]

Thank you so much I was so confused....

[@bkzlab]

Is it true that some plants grown monoembryonic seeds will not bear fruits?

[@PracticalPrimate]

Hi. I have read that some trees will never flower but I’ve never seen it or heard of it happening to anyone I know.

[@ArcolaBridge]

Walmart in Minnesota has giant mangoes from Robinson that say product of Mexico. Any idea about these? It's one big seed, so monoembrionic.

[@PracticalPrimate]

Hi and welcome! Sorry I have no idea, I would suspect one of the common cultivars but I don’t know what’s grown in Mexico. I tried to look it up but the most common types were polyembryonic cultivars.

[@ArcolaBridge]

@@PracticalPrimate I left it on the counter for a few days and it got kind of dry so maybe it won't grow? I'm going to try to grow it and the three others I have.

[@DoodleHats]

so is the only way to replicate a mono seed mango by grafting?

[@PracticalPrimate]

Grafting is the best way and luckily it is easy with mangoes. You could air layer but they are not a good candidate for it.

[@DoodleHats]

@@PracticalPrimate uh oh. not looking good for my valencia pride seedlings in the back yard then haha

[@PracticalPrimate]

Top work them :) I have a video on how to top work a mango tree to whatever cultivar you like (link below).

Why we need to go for grafting and under what circumstances like poly or monoembryonic? Please spare your time to explain me

[@maple5305]

when you want a particular kind of tree,as in with specific characteristics like sweeter fruit,high yielding,pest resistant etc,grafting will help because you get choose the preferred scion or rootstock,if you want to mimic a plant with certain desired qualities you can go for clones from polyembryonic seedlings,if you prefer experimenting with plants and plan to develop a new set of desired quality in the plant you can go for monoembryonic seedling since it is a unique individual as opposed to polyembryonic seedling.

@@maple5305 thank you:)

[@chandrakala7037]

@@maple5305 sorry again and again, i am disturbing you. Can you please explain why some fruits won't have seeds like papaya, is it because of non- pollination ? How female plants give fruits without pollination? Please share your views

[@maple5305]

@@chandrakala7037 no issues,it is because of a phenomenon called parthenocarpy,here fertilisation occurs,it is obviously preceded by pollination, parthenocarpy is the development of a fruit(ovary) but in such conditions seeds(ovule/s) fail to develop which is one of the reason for seedless fruits,here either the pollen,sperm,ovum might be dysfunctional! But these days breeders are trying to make use of this phenomenon which is why we come across seedless fruits, seedless fruits means longer shelf life and easier for consumption, another reason is triploid seeds(bananas),a fruit developed from triploid seed will not have a functional seed and hence result into a seedless fruit in the coming generations.

[@chandrakala7037]

@@maple5305 in my case, fertilization itself is not happening in female papaya tree as i don't have male papaya plant. Still i am getting fruits from this female tree, which are seedless. My doubt is how this fruit is developed when there is no fertilization. Please spare some time to clarify my basic doubt. Thanks in advance.

i think i read somewhere that clones tend to fruit sooner than the one that has been cross-pollinated. Ataulfo seeds are poly and the clones are supposed to fruit in about 3 years. Of course I've yet to get one to survive. I've germinated probably close to 30 ataulfo's over the past 2 summers and none survived past a few weeks after first set of leaves opened. Got a Keitt to survive and it's still growing in the pot, I pulled that out of a worm bin because I wasn't planning on growing a Keitt but now I am :)

[@PracticalPrimate]

ZenGrow can always graft it over if you don’t like the Keitt too!

[@zengrow3098]

@@PracticalPrimate actually I liked the Keitt. They sell those and Tommy Atkins around here but I don't like Tommy. Ataulfo's aren't too bad and I've been trying to grow one because you can get fruit in about 3 years from seed.

[@Balmy_Jones]

Where are you located? Here in Lehigh Acres, FL some of my polyembryonic seedlings (thought to be Turpentine, but I could be wrong) get hit by Anthracnose and thus lack vigor, w/ some perishing. Just wondering if this is your problem with Ataulfo? My Valencia Pride from seed grown seedlings (monoembryonic) seem to thrive w/ no sign of Anthracnose. One seedling started producing nice large fruit within 4 years. The "Turpentine" seedlings that survive, get a Anthracnose resistant scion... and then thrive.

[@zengrow3098]

@@Balmy_Jones thanks for the reply, I'm in Southern California. Not sure if it's anthracnose but the seedlings get sick and die off on me. I managed to keep a Keitt seedling alive and it's thriving.
