South and Southeast Asia is the center of origin for many tropical fruit crops. This region is a prime habitat for in situ conservation of genetic diversity of long-lived, largely out-crossing wild/domesticated Tropical Fruit Tree (TFT) species. Wild TFT species in 36 project sites throughout Ind...

Using a structured questionnaire and household visits, diversity of mango varieties among home-garden and farmlands of three typical villages each in three broad bioclimatic zones viz. coastal, Eastern Plains and Upper Ghats zones of the Central Western Ghats, India was studied. The study reveale...

Tropical fruits – full of rich nutrients and health properties – are adapted to hot and humid environments. Many tropical fruit species might spread beyond their current geographical limit whereas some species might exhibit irregular bearing of fruit. In this context, there are some important que...

On-farm (in situ) conservation of cultivated plants refers to the management of landraces/cultivars and the occasionally cultivated wild relatives (as in the case of fruit species like mango) in the very place where they developed their present-day characteristics. Fruit tree varieties and relate...
