Investigation of genotypic mango (Mangifera indica L.) in south of Iran based on morphological and biochemical indexes

In order to compare the group of 27 cultivars of mangoes in southern of Iran (Kerman and Hormozgan), physiological traits of leaves and fruits, mango measured on the basis of universal descriptor. The results of analysis of variance showed that the effect of genotype on the traits of chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, electrolyte leakage, anthocyanins, leaf, pH fruit, soluble solids, vitamin C (ascorbic acid),TSS fruit juices, pH fruits as well as the kernel traits (kernel length, kernel thickness, kernel width, kernel weight and kernel dry weight) was significant in 1% probability level. The results of the comparison of the averages showed that the highest amount of ascorbic acid, total soluble solids and total leaf chlorophyll belonged to the Sindyderi, twin and Kharvest genotype respectively. In average of kernel length and width, Nabati 1 genotype has the minimum with (3/9 Cm) and Anonym 1 the maximum (11/66 Cm), and the Nabati1 genotype and Langra, respectively, had the minimum and the maximum (2/8 and 4/7 Cm) in Between the genotypes studied. Also, the maximum yields of tree were obtained from Snyderi genotype (260 kg), although there were no significant difference with Shahani 2 genotype (240 kg). Cluster analysis based on the average distance between groups (UPGMA), genotypes in the interval of 7/09 in four groups.
