In the present research, we identified and characterized genetic and phenotypic variations within a hundreds cultivars from Riau. The objective of this research were to investigate genetic variability of local Mangoes in Riau. This research was used a survey method where carried out in 12 regency in Riau Province. The result found many variations of six species of mangoes, there are M. foetida, M. indica, M. odorata, M. sumatrana, M. laurina, and two other species which is the new records. The infraspecies level of diversity showed that M. odorata and M. foetida has a high variability of the fruit shapes. This investigation will help breeders of mangoes for the improvement programsenGerm plasmaMangifera spMangoesRiau ProvinceEXPLORATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MANGOES (Mangifera) GERMPLASM DIVERSITY IN RIAU PROVINCEUR-Proceedings
