Abstract

The effect of temperature on graft union formation in mango (Mangifera indica L.) was studied using light microscopy. Graft union was favoured at temperatures of 24 and 28°C but grafts failed to develop at 15 and 20°C. At 38°C, unions formed 20 days after grafting but further exposure to this temperature caused tissue injury and death of callus cells.
