Numerous vegetative buds sprout producing hypertrophied growth which constitutes vegetative malformation. The condition of multi-branching of shoot apex with scaly leaves and shortened internodes is referred to as ‘Witches Broom’ (Gaur and Chakrabarti 2009). The production of excessive shoots (multi-branching) indicates the disturbance in the apical dominance. Leaves become dwarf and narrow and bend back towards the stem, which remain stunted and die (Kumar and Beniwal 1992) (Fig. 1a ) as compared to healthy leaves (Fig. 1b ). Floral malformation is considered more serious problem than vegetative malformation (Chakraborti and Misra 2014). During the development of floral malformation, primary, secondary and tertiary rachises become short, thick and hypertrophied with prominent nodes. Due to suppression of apical dominance, panicles become greener, heavier and highly branched (Kumar et al. 1993) on which flowers are crowded, enlarged with thicker pedicels, calices and enlarged petals and stamens consisting of deformed reproductive organs (Rani et al. 2013) (Fig. 1c ) with respect to those of healthy panicles (Fig. 1d ).
The endogenous ethylene content were elevated in malformed tissues as compared to healthy one under low temperature range during both the stages viz. All the studied cultivars are completely resistant to mango malformation, however Ellaichi and Bhadauran cultivars are reported to be completely free from malformation Kumar et al.
Along the way, Elaina learns valuable lessons about morality, power, and the complexities of war.

Reviews for "The evolution of Mango's powers in Wandering Witch Mango Volume 4"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Wandering Witch Mango Volume 4". The story felt rushed and shallow, with little development for the characters. The plot lacked depth and seemed to rely too heavily on cliches and predictable tropes. Additionally, the artwork felt lacking compared to previous volumes, with some panels looking unfinished or poorly drawn. Overall, I found this volume to be a major letdown and it left me questioning whether I want to continue reading the series.
- John - 1 star - I couldn't stand "Wandering Witch Mango Volume 4". The writing was confusing and convoluted, making it difficult to follow the story. The characters were also unlikable and lacked any depth or growth. The artwork was inconsistent and at times, it was hard to tell what was happening in the panels. I had high hopes for this volume, but it fell far short of my expectations. I can't recommend it to anyone.
- Emily - 2 stars - "Wandering Witch Mango Volume 4" just didn't do it for me. The pacing was slow and the story didn't seem to go anywhere. The main character, Elaina, felt flat and I struggled to connect with her. The side characters were one-dimensional and forgettable. The artwork was average and didn't stand out. Overall, this volume felt like a filler episode with no real substance. I hope the next volume picks up the pace and brings some much-needed excitement to the series.
- Michael - 2.5 stars - I was underwhelmed by "Wandering Witch Mango Volume 4". The story lacked clear direction and seemed to meander without a purpose. The attempts at humor fell flat and felt forced. The artwork was decent, but there were inconsistencies in character designs and backgrounds. While there were a few interesting moments, overall, this volume failed to capture my attention and left me feeling unsatisfied. I hope the future volumes improve upon the flaws of this one.
