Morphological traits and RAPD markers for characterization and identification of minor Spanish olive cultivars from the Extremadura region
Authors: M.C. Parra-Lobato, F.J. Delgado-Martinez and M.C. Gomez-Jimenez
A total of 91 wild olive accessions and 31 olive cultivars growing in the Extremadura region of central-western Spain were analyzed using morphological traits and RAPD markers. We focused on three main and 16 minor Spanish olive cultivars that are recognized as native or local to the Extremadura region. The five arbitrary 10-mer primers tested on the oliv.. Read More»

Microsatellite marker-based identification and genetic relationships of olive cultivars from the Extremadura region of Spain
Authors: F.J. Delgado-Martinez, I. Amaya, J.F. S�¡nchez-Sevilla and M.C. Gomez-Jimenez
Seventy-seven olive accessions corresponding to 25 cultivars from the Extremadura region of Spain were studied using four microsatellite or SSR markers in order to fingerprint them, and evaluate genetic similarity and relationships between local and introduced olive cultivars. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 8.. Read More»

SSR analysis demonstrates that olive production in the southern Marmara region in Turkey uses a single genotype
Authors: A. Ipek, E. Barut, H. Gulen, A.T. Oz, N.A. Tangu and M. Ipek
The southern Marmara region in Turkey was surveyed to determine the olive cultivars that are used for olive production. Genetic diversity analysis using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers indicated that the cultivar Gemlik is the major olive cultivar grown in this region, while other olive cultivars are grown only for use as..

Molecular identification of Greek olive (Olea europaea) cultivars based on microsatellite loci
Authors: K. Roubos, M. Moustakas and F.A. Aravanopoulos
Olea europaea is one of the oldest species of domesticated trees. We used microsatellite markers for fingerprinting and for evaluation of genetic similarity and structure of 26 Greek olive cultivars, which cover most of the olive cultivation regions of Greece, including previously undescribed denominations from northern Greece..

Determination of the genetic relationships between wild olive (Olea europaea oleaster) varieties grown in the Aegean region
Authors: M. Sesli and E.D. YeÃ?Â?enoÃ?Â?lu
The RAPD technique was used for determining genetic differences between 12 wild-olive varieties grown in the Aegean provinces of Izmir, Mugla, and Manisa in Turkey. Wild olives obtained from the same provinces were included in the same plot. Twenty of 25 operon primers (OP-I 4, OP-I 14, OP-I 15, OP-I 16, OP-I 17, OP-Q1, OP-Q2,.. Read More»

Association of SSR markers with contents of fatty acids in olive oil and genetic diversity analysis of an olive core collection
Authors: M. Ipek, A. Ipek, M. Seker and M.K. Gul
The purpose of this research was to characterize an olive core collection using some agronomic characters and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to determine SSR markers associated with the content of fatty acids in olive oil. SSR marker analysis demonstrated the presence of a high amount of genetic variation between the olive cultivars analyzed. A UPG.. Read More»

Identification of molecular markers associated with fruit traits in olive and assessment of olive core collection with AFLP markers and fruit traits
Authors: M. Ipek, M. Seker, A. Ipek and M.K. Gul
The purpose of this study was to characterize olive core collection with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers and fruit traits and to determine AFLP markers significantly associated with these fruit characters in olive. A total of 168 polymorphic AFLP markers generated by five primer combinations and nine fruit traits were used to charact.. Read More»

Genetic relationships analysis of olive cultivars grown in China
Authors: M.M. Zhan, Z.Z. Cheng, G.C. Su, A.Y. Wang, H.P. Chen, Z.S. Yang, Z. Shan and Q.M. Huang
The olive tree is an iconic tree of the Mediterranean, and is used extensively to produce high-quality olive oil. Although the China olive industry has just begun to be valued, there were also existed mislabeling and synonyms in introduced cultivars. The aim of this study was to analyze genetic similarities among olive cultivars in China using SSR and ISS.. Read More»
