Recent developments in olive (Olea europaea L.) genetics and genomics: applications in taxonomy, varietal identification, traceability and breeding
Plant Cell Reports, 2017Co-Authors: Laura Sebastiani, Matteo BusconiAbstract:Key message The latest results in DNA markers application and genomic studies in olive. Abstract Olive ( Olea europaea L.) is among the most ancient tree crops worldwide and the source of oil beneficial for human health. Despite this, few data on olive genetics are available in comparison with other cultivated plant species. Molecular information is mainly linked to molecular markers and their application to the study of DNA variation in the Olea europaea complex. In terms of genomic research, efforts have been made in sequencing, heralding the era of olive genomic. The present paper represents an update of a previous review work published in this journal in 2011. The review is again mainly focused on DNA markers, whose application still constitutes a relevant percentage of the most recently published researches. Since the olive genomic era has recently started, the latest results in this field are also being discussed.

Molecular studies in olive (Olea europaea L.): overview on {DNA} markers applications and recent advances in genome analysis
Plant Cell Rep., 2011Co-Authors: T Bracci, Matteo Busconi, C Fogher, Laura SebastianiAbstract:Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the oldest agricultural tree crops worldwide and is an important source of oil with beneficial properties for human health. This emblematic tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin, which has conserved a very wide germplasm estimated in more than 1,200 cultivars, is a diploid species (2n = 2x = 46) that is present in two forms, namely wild (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. sylvestris) and cultivated (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. europaea). In spite of its economic and nutritional importance, there are few data about the genetic of olive if compared with other fruit crops. Available molecular data are especially related to the application of molecular markers to the analysis of genetic variability in Olea europaea complex and to develop efficient molecular tools for the olive oil origin traceability. With regard to genomic research, in the last years efforts are made for the identification of expressed sequence tag, with particular interest in those sequences expressed during fruit development and in pollen allergens. Very recently the sequencing of chloroplast genome provided new information on the olive nucleotide sequence, opening the olive genomic era. In this article, we provide an overview of the most relevant results in olive molecular studies. A particular attention was given to DNA markers and their application that constitute the most part of published researches. The first important results in genome analysis were reported.

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci from Olea europaea
Molecular Ecology Notes, 2006Co-Authors: Matteo Busconi, A. Da Câmara Machado, C FogherAbstract:This study reports 19 simple sequence repeat loci developed from a genomic library of the olive tree (Olea europaea L.), of which 12 revealed to be polymorphic and informative, ranging from two to 14 alleles.

development of simple sequence repeats ssrs in olive tree Olea europaea l
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2000Co-Authors: Pilar Rallo, G Dorado, Antonio MartinAbstract:We report the development of microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the olive tree (Olea europaea L.). Forty three positive clones obtained by the screening of a GA-enriched genomic library were sequenced and primers were designed for 13 microsatellite loci. Five primer pairs amplified polymorphic products of the expected size range. SSR polymorphism was explored in a set of 46 olive cultivars. A total of 26 alleles were detected for the five loci. Heterozygosity ranged from 0.46 to 0.71. Ninety one per cent of the cultivars had unique multilocus genotypes. Microsatellite segregation was studied in a complex population from a cross between the commercial cultivars ’Leccino’ and ’Dolce Agogia’.

genome sequence of the olive tree Olea europaea
GigaScience, 2016Co-Authors: Fernando Cruz, Irene Julca, Jessica Gomezgarrido, Damian Loska, Marina Marcethouben, E Cano, Beatriz Galan, Leonor Frias, Paolo RibecaAbstract:Background The Mediterranean olive tree (Olea europaea subsp. europaea) was one of the first trees to be domesticated and is currently of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region as the source of olive oil. The molecular bases underlying the phenotypic differences among domesticated cultivars, or between domesticated olive trees and their wild relatives, remain poorly understood. Both wild and cultivated olive trees have 46 chromosomes (2n).
