Study on the seedling progenies of three polyembryonic varieties was carried out to differentiate zygotic and nucellar seedlings through molecular characterization. The fingerprinting showed variation across the varieties of selected seedling progenies. The variety Peach exhibited 100% zygotic seedlings among the varieties screened. The variety Nekkare was found to be 36.84% zygotic and minimum number of zygotic seedlings (10.52 %) was observed in Bappakkai. In breeding program as it is difficult to identify hybrid progenies of zygotic origin and identification of zygotic seedlings from nucellar is vital for a hybridization programme, wherein polyembryonic varieties are used as one of the parents. Hence, molecular markers are vital in identifying the seedlings in order to characterize the seedling progenies and parents by developing the barcodes of polyembryonic mango varieties to utilize in crop improvement.
