The phenotype of polyembryonic and monoembryonic seeds in mango. (A) Multiple embryos (each indicated by a red arrow) in a polyembryonic mango cultivar seed. The red arrows indicate the individual embryos—the scale bar is 10 mm. (B) A single embryo in a monoembryonic cultivar seed. (C) Seed germination phenotypes in polyembryonic accession (‘13-1’, Left). Multiple plantlets develop from the different embryos (the sexual one identified by PCR analysis based on specific SNP markers is marked with a white arrow). Monoembryonic accession (Shelly, Right) with a single plantlet.
