Mango's golden / purply hue is a genetic trait linked with prosperity, health and garden benefits. @westsyduhie in collaboration with @Hort_Au and QDPI aim to discover the genetic mechanisms modulating mango fruit colours, identify markers, and fast forward breeding programs 😀

Terrific fun enjoying good food and barefoot bowls with the @EELaboratory team from the @westsyduhie as we celebrate a successful 2024 at our annual Christmas party 👍🌲
