Testing different approaches to construct an olive (Olea europaea L.) core subset suitable for association genetic studies Universiteit Gent
Evaluation of genetic diversity is of great interest for the management of germplasm collections and breeding programs. Management can be efficient when the evaluation is focused on a subset of accessions that represents the variability observed in the whole germplasm collection. Most core sets have been developed for seed crops using different approaches and sampling size to select entries on the basis of genetic and/or phenotypic data, while ...
Construction of core collections suitable for association mapping to optimize use of Mediterranean olive (Olea europaea L.) genetic resources Universiteit Gent
The complex history of the olive tree: from Late Quaternary diversification of Mediterranean lineages to primary domestication in the northern Levant Universiteit Gent
The location and timing of domestication of the olive tree, a key crop in Early Mediterranean societies, remain hotly debated. Here, we unravel the history of wild olives (oleasters), and then infer the primary origins of the domesticated olive. Phylogeography and Bayesian molecular dating analyses based on plastid genome profiling of 1263 oleasters and 534 cultivated genotypes reveal three main lineages of pre-Quaternary origin. Regional ...
