In Situ Morphological and Agronomical Characterization of Wild Olives (Olea europea subsp. europea var. sylvestris)

Wild olive populations are a distinctive element of Mediterranean flora and an important genetic source for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in olive selection and breeding. The present study represent the first attempt of in situ agro-morphological evaluation of wild olive trees in Spain. Two provinces of Andalusia (Cadiz and Jaen), Southern Spain, were selected based on previous results on wild olive populations (Belaj et al. 2007). SSR markers have also been used for the study of the genetic diversity and preliminary results are discussed.
