abstract: Mango (Mangifera indica) is regarded among the five most important fruit commodities traded
worldwide, along with bananas, apples, grapes and oranges, with over 40M tonnes produced
annually worldwide. The genus Mangifera is believed to contain up to 70 species, with origins in
the North‐Eastern Indian subcontinent and South East Asia. Despite this, there is a relatively poor
understanding of the pedigree, genetic relatedness and the history of domestication of many M.
indica cultivars and related species worldwide. The development of molecular tools for mango is
extremely limited, thus its genes, genetics and genomics remain largely unidentified. Whole
genome sequencing and the development of genetic maps of these species are important
components in marker assisted breeding and genetic improvement. An international genomics
program is being undertaken to build these genetic resources including the development of large
numbers of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) molecular genetic markers, the development of
a genetic map for mango, association of phenotypic traits to the genetic map to identify useful
individual markers for breeding, assessment of the genetic diversity in mango germplasm
collections, and sequencing, assembly and annotation of the mango genome. These genetic
resources will facilitate identification of genetic components with useful agronomic traits for
breeding material. The goal of whole genome sequencing of mango is accelerated progress in the
breeding of mango cultivars with improved agronomic traits (eg reduced vigour, disease
resistance, fruit colour) that could not be accomplished by traditional methods.
