Download or read book Analysis of Genetic Structure and Differentiation in Olive Olea Europaea L Using Microsatellite Markers written by Anne Marie Koehmstedt and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen SSR markers previously developed for cultivated olive, Olea europaea ssp. europaea var. europaea, were used to genotype over 300 accessions of cultivated olive from five collections of 19th-20th century plantings in California and the University of Arizona, in order to examine genetic diversity, structure, and differentiation within and among collections. Genotypes of cultivars from the National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Fruit & Nut Crops (NCGR) collection were compared with the other collections to potentially establish cultivar identity. Up to 90% of samples per non-NCGR collection were found to be synonymous with named, primarily Spanish, cultivars, in agreement with the history of early olive importation and development in California. The number of alleles per locus across all collections ranged from one at UD099-019 in the Santa Barbara collection to 16 at ssrOeUA-DCA11 in the NCGR collection, with a mean number of alleles per locus per collection ranging from 2.9 for Santa Cruz Island and 9.9 for the NCGR collection. Several different loci in the non-NCGR collections were either completely homozygous (H0 = 0.00) or completely heterozygous (H0 = 1.00), while the mean observed heterozygosity per collection ranged from 0.598 for the University of Arizona to 0.650 for Lotusland Gardens. Contingency chi-squared analysis showed significant differences in allele composition and frequencies across all loci among the collections. Many alleles found at low frequencies within the NCGR collection yet missing entirely within the other collections suggest that the NCGR collection contains greater diversity, and cultivars that were not widely distributed throughout California in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The unique genotypes found within the non-NCGR collections were distributed throughout the UPGMA phenogram and generally most closely related to one or more named cultivars, with a few exceptions. Projection of accessions onto the first two or three principle components (26% of variation) generally agreed with the results of the UPGMA phenogram. The results suggest that historical olive collections in California and Arizona, while containing small numbers of unique genotypes, may still contain significant genetic diversity, including genotypes and alleles no longer present in the modern California olive industry or official germplasm collection.
Download or read book The Olive Tree Genome written by Eddo Rugini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the genetics, genomics, and breeding of the olive tree, a multi-functional long-lived crop plant that is relevant not only for culinary olive and oil production, but also for shaping the landscape and history of many rural areas for centuries. Today, the recognized health benefits of extra-virgin olive oil provide new impulses for introducing innovation in olive crop management and olive breeding for a deeper understanding of the biological processes underlying fruit quality, adaptation to crop environment and response to threatening epidemics due to biological agents such as Xylella fastidiosa. The individual chapters discuss genetic resources; classic and modern breeding methods for providing new olive cultivars; the genotype x environment interactions determining the response to biotic and abiotic stresses; fruit metabolism related to oil production and the synthesis of health beneficial molecules; the mapping of genes and quantitative trait locus; and genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic strategies pertinent to the development of a molecular platform and template amenable to precise and rapid genetic modifications using recently developed genome editing tools.

Download or read book Critical Aspects on the Use of Microsatellite Markers for Assessing Genetic Identity of Crop Plant Varieties and Authenticity of Their Food Derivatives written by Fabio Palumbo and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 90 original articles concerning the varietal characterization and identification by means of SSR analysis of the five most economically relevant crops in Italy (id est, Olea europaea L., Solanum lycopersicum L., Vitis vinifera L., Triticum spp. and Malus × domestica Borkh.) have been selected and reviewed. Since the genetic traceability of processed products may result more complex, wine and olive oil have been considered too. Specifically, this chapter deals with three main aspects: (i) the criteria adopted for the selection of the most appropriate number, type, and distribution of SSR marker loci to be employed for varietal genotyping, (ii) the use of genetic statistics and parameters for the evaluation of the discriminant ability and applicability of SSR marker loci, and (iii) how to make different experimental works on the same species that are standardized, reliable, and comparable. What emerges from the studies reviewed here is a lack of wider consensus among the authors regarding the strategy to design and to adopt for genotyping plant varieties with SSR markers. This finding highlights the urgent need to establish a common procedure, especially for characterizing and preserving landraces, and for supporting its rediscovery and valorization locally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic diversity is of fundamental importance in the continuity of a species as it provides the necessary adaptation to the prevailing biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, and enables change in the genetic composition to cope with changes in the environment. Genetic Diversity in Plants presents chapters revealing the magnitude of genetic variation existing in plant populations. The increasing availability of PCR-based molecular markers allows the detailed analyses and evaluation of genetic diversity in plants and also, the detection of genes influencing economically important traits. The purpose of the book is to provide a glimpse into the dynamic process of genetic variation by presenting the thoughts of scientists who are engaged in the generation of new ideas and techniques employed for the assessment of genetic diversity, often from very different perspectives. The book should prove useful to students, researchers, and experts in the area of conservation biology, genetic diversity, and molecular biology.
Download or read book Olives and Olive Oil in Health and Disease Prevention written by Victor R Preedy and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2010-03-23 with total page 1520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long used in sacred ceremonies and associated with good health, the nutritional and health promoting benefits of olives and olive oils have been proven by an ever-increasing body of science. From cardiovascular benefits to anti-microbial, anti-cancer, antioxidant activity and effects on macrophages and aptoptosis to cellular and pathophysiollogical process, olives and olive oils are proving important in many healthful ways. For example, reactive components in olive oils or olive oil by-products have now been isolated and identified. These include tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid elenolic acid and oleuropein. Oleic acid is the main monosaturated fatty acid of olive oil. These have putative protective effects and modulate the biochemistry of a variety of cell types including those of the vascular system. Some but not all components have been characterised by their putative pharmacological properties. It is possible that usage of these aforementioned products may have beneficial application in other disease. However, in order for this cross-fertilization to take place, a comprehensive understanding of olives and olive oils is required. Finding this knowledge in a single volume provides a key resource for scientists in a variety of food an nutritional roles. Explores olives and olive oil from their general aspects to the detailed level of important micro-and micronutrients Includes coverage of various methodologies for analysis to help scientists and chemists determine the most appropriate option for their own studies, including those of olive-related compounds in other foods Relates, in a single volume resource, information for food and nutritional chemists, pharmaceutical scientists, nutritionists and dieticians Presents information in three key categories: General aspects of olives an olive oils; Nutritional, pharmacological and metabolic properties of olives and olive oil; Specific components of olive oil and their effects on tissue and body systems
