3. •Science of identifying, describing, and classifying plant species based on
their (fruits) biological characteristics, such as morphology, anatomy,
genetics, and ecology.

4. Centre of Origin –
That location where the plant is considered to have first appeared.
The primary criteria in identifying a centre of origin is the presence of
wild relatives.
The geographical region where a
particular plant species first
originated and where it has
undergone over a long period of
time:
• Natural selection
•Genetic diversity
• Evolution
The regions where a species has
been introduced and subsequently
adapted to new environmental
conditions through:
• Human selection,
•Cultivation,
•Breeding.

21. According to Simmonds-
•The edible banana is believed to be originated
from South East Asia.
•The primary centre of origin of table banana(Musa
acuminata) is the Malaysia region whereas the
cooking banana (Musa balbisiana) originated in
southern India.
•The hybrids and polyploids of acuminata and
bulbisiana are thought to have originated in various
countries around pacific ocean,starting from
Philippines in the east to southern island of
Malaysia and India.
21
22. •Bananas are tropical evergreen perennials and the species are distributed
mostly within the region of 23.5 N to 23.5 S of tropical to subtropical humid
climate.
•The Western hemisphere comprising of Mexico, Guatemala , Brazil ,
Costa Rica, Panama , Cuba , Columbia , Venezuela , West Indies and
Central American Islands produce 55% of exportable banana.
•Whereas Africa alone contributes 30% and America and Asia 35% of world
production.

•It was originated in Southern Mexico(Mesoamerica)
•The higher genetic diversity was found in locations of southern Mexico,
suggesting this region as a genetic reservoir for the species.
•The Mesoamerica was the most important culture present in that region
before the conquest of Mexico by Spain in the sixteenth century, and
probably one of the first to cultivate and trade the fruits of C. papaya .

HISTORY REMARKS
de Candolle, 1883, 1884, from Singh,
1990; Storey, 1976
Carica papaya is native in the north-
tropical Western Hemisphere. Some have
suggested a centre of origin in Tropical
America or the south of Mexico
Manshardt and Zee (1994) Found wild papayas in the Caribbean
coastal lowlands of southern Mexico and
northern Honduras.
Sauer, 1966; Singh, 1990 Cultivated papaya was reported in
Jamaica by at least 1756
Singh, 1990; Ferrão, 1992 In 1500 ,Papaya was transported to the
Philippines and India, and it was readily
disseminated into tropical Asia, Africa,
and Pacific islands

36. •Cashewnut is believed to be a native of Brazil and dispersed
from here to many tropical areas.
•It is reported that Cashewnut was introduced in the Malabar
Coast of India in the 16th centaury by Portuguese with the
purpose of afforestation and soil conservation later on it was used
as edible fruits.
•During same period the Spanish took the crop further to
Philippines.
•The different names of cashew in Indian languages are derived
from Caju which in turn originated from Acaju , the name given to
cashew by the Tapi Indians of Brazil.
36
37. •The Malabar coast probably served as locus of dispersal to other
centres in India and South East Asia .
•From India , it was carried eastward to Amboina in Indonesia.
•The dispersal of the species to South East Asia appears to have
been carried out by birds , bats , monkeys and human agents.
• Nowadays, the cashew tree is grown around the world especially
in Brazil, Vietnam, India, Nigeria, Indonesia, Philippines and the
Ivory Coast.

•This important fruit also finds mention in the notes of the early foreign
travelers to India, e.g.,
1. Xuanzang (Hsüantsang) (632-645 AD),
2.Ibn-Haukul (902-968 AD),
3.Ibn-Batuta (1325-1339 AD)
4.Ludovici de Varthema (1503-1508 AD).
Apparently, Hsüan-tsang was the first person to bring the mango to the notice
of people outside India.
History---Research
•The origin of the most of the improved cultivated varieties of India today can
be traced to those early days. They have since been preserved under
cultivation (for over 400 years) by the process of vegetative propagation.
•The royal families used mango as the best gift to arouse the diplomatic
sentiments: eg.
--Gifts of mango offered by Daulat Khan Kodhi, Governor of Lahore to Babar in
Persia, ---Aurangzeb to Shajh Abbas of Persia,
--Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru to Nikita Khruscheve of USSR (Russia),
--Sri Lal Bahadur Shastri to Alaxi Kosygen of Russia,
--Mrs. Indira Gandhi to Leonid Brezhnev of Russia and

•Mughal emperor Babar recognized the mango as the choicest fruit of India. His
descendants cultivated mango by evolving grafting techniques and growing technologies
and making huge collection of varieties.
•Akbar, the Mughal emperor (1556 – 1605 AD) got planted near Darbhanga the Lakh
Bagh, an orchard of 1,00,000 mango trees.
•The Ain-e-Akbari, an encyclopedia written during the empire of Akbar gives information
about the quality and varietal characteristics of the fruit from which it appears that a fairly
good knowledge about mango culture and the characters of different
•Many Southeast Asian kings and nobles had their own mango orchards; with private
cultivars being sources of great pride and social standing, hence, began the custom of
sending gifts of the choicest mango.
History---Research
•Buddhist monks are believed to have taken the mango on voyages to Malaya and
eastern Asia during the 4th and 5th Centuries BC. The mango is considered to be a
sacred fruit in the region because it is said that the Lord Buddha himself meditated
under a mango tree
44. 44
Origin --Research
•The mango originated, in the foothills of the Himalayas of the southern Asia (eastern
India, Burma, and the Andaman Islands) bordering the Bay of Bengal, dating back to
4000 BC, where it still grows wild in the hills of Assam and adjacent areas
•Historical records and palaeo- botanical evidences provide ample proof about its origin
in the Indo-Burma-Malay region as supported by Vivilov(1926).
•On the basis of presence of maximum number of allied species growing in Malaysia,
some workers are lead to believe that Malaysian region is the original home of mango
•According to de Candolle (1883) it is impossible to doubt that the mango is a native of
the south of Asia or of the Malay Archipelago.
•The primary centre of origin of the genus Mangifera is considered in the region of
Myanmar (Burma)-SiamIndochina or Malay Archipelago and the secondary centre in the
Sunda island (Java, Sumatra, Borneo)-the Philippines and Celebes- Banda-Timor group
(Mukherjee, 1985)
45. •Taxonomical classification provides a systematic approach to understand
the origin and distribution of different plant species.
•It provides basic understanding about the components of biodiversity which
is necessary for effective decision-making about conservation and
sustainable use.
45
•It helps in selecting suitable cultivars, managing pests and diseases, and
improving yield and quality. Overall, taxonomical classification is a vital tool
in the study and utilization of plant species, including these four delicious
and nutritious fruits.
•The centers of origin and diversification are important sources for genes
for plant breeding as they contain the wild species and landraces used
indigenously.
