ARIAS NAVARRO, C. F. et al. Parthenocarpic and Stenospermocarpic Mango Fruits: A Review of Possible Causative Factors. Revista bio ciencias [online]. 2023, vol.10, e1480.  Epub 23-Fev-2024. ISSN 2007-3380.  https://doi.org/10.15741/revbio.10.e1480.

Mango fruits (Mangifera indica L.) are of commercial importance due to their consumption of fresh and processed. Each year, more than 54 million tons are produced, placing this fruit species among the top five most significant ones worldwide. India is the leading producer, and Mexico is in fifth place. However, the onset of parthenocarpic and stenospermocarpic fruits has had an impact on several cultivars. The Ataulfo cultivar is only thought to be the most affected in Mexico, where commercial orchards have more than 80 % incidence. Numerous studies have been conducted to reduce the prevalence of these physiopathies or identify the underlying cause. Phytohormones, low nutrition, and temperature are highlighted as potential causes of parthenocarpy and stenospermocarpy in mango fruits. This review aims to learn more about the studies done on parthenocarpy and stenospermocarpy in mango fruits and pinpoint potential causes of these physiopathies.
