Genetic relationships among and within wild and cultivated olives based on RAPDs

M. Sesli and Yegenoglu, E. D., Genetic relationships among and within wild and cultivated olives based on RAPDs, vol. 9, pp. 1550-1556, 2010.

We examined genetic relationships among wild and cultivated olives, which is a very important crop in the economy of the Aegean region. We used RAPD analysis to evaluate relationships among and within 22 olive subspecies from Manisa, Mugla and Izmir provinces in Turkey. Twelve of the subspecies were wild and 10 were cultivated olives. Fifty-two primers were used (OP-Q 1-20, OP-I 1-20, OP-F 14-15-16-17, and OP-K 1-8) and 49 polymorphic bands were selected and used for analysis.
