Sinopsis

Diversity Mango (Mangifera) in Indonesia is an important and interesting aspect to be studied for mango improvement program relies heavily on the genetic diversity available. Exploration and surveys of mango genetic diversity in Indonesia have been conducted in Java (Fitmawati 2003, Sulistiowati (1989), West Kalimantan and South Kalimantan (Kostermans and Bompart 1989), South Sulawesi (Wirawan 1999), Southeast Sulawesi (Fitmawati 2005) exploration and surveying the diversity of mango species in eastern and southern Sumatra has never been done.It is very important to do exploration to reveal the biological wealth of Sumatran mangoes in order to sow the resources of germplasm of wild mangoes in Sumatra that are racing with the rapid transfer of land function to the area of oil palm and rubber plantation.

The Mangifera species have their centre of diversity and origin in South-east Asia, a region that has experienced great economic development in recent years. Vast wooded areas have been completely or partially deforested either for expanding agriculture or for removal of tropical hardwoods for export. This has caused great genetic erosion within many species and genera.
