The 'Sunset' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in southwest Florida. == History == The original tree was grown from a seed planted in the grove of Frank Adams in Pine Island, Florida.〔http://www.fshs.org/Proceedings/Password%20Protected/1954%20Vol.%2067/284-290%20%28LEDIN%29.pdf Page 289〕 The variety was considered to have potential and a grafted tree was planted at the Sub-Tropical Research Station in Homestead, Florida in 1947. For decades the parentage of 'Sunset' was unknown, however a 2005 pedigree analysis estimated that 'Sunset' was a cross between the 'Haden' and 'Amini' cultivars.〔http://www.crec.ifas.ufl.edu/academics/faculty/burns/pdf/192-197.pdf Page 193〕 'Sunset' did not become a popular commercial or nurserystock tree. Nevertheless, 'Sunset' trees are part of the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida〔http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1720218 USDA, ARS, National Genetic Resources Program. Germplasm Resources Information Network - (GRIN). (Database ) National Germplasm Resources Laboratory, Beltsville, Maryland.〕 and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead, Florida.〔http://fruitandspicepark.org/friends/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=29〕 Recently, 'Sunset' garnered some attention when it was one of several varieties offered for public tasting at the 2010 International Mango festival at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. DNA analysis has indicated that 'Sunset' is likely one of the parents of the 'Maha Chanok' mango.〔http://agris.fao.org/agris-search/search/display.do?f=2006/TH/TH0510.xml;TH2002002430〕 'Sunset' is sometimes confused with another variety named 'Sunset' (also called 'Indian Sunset') that originated on Merritt Island. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunset (mango)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
