Abstract excerpt
Twelve simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were used to differentiate among 118 cultivars sampled in several countries of the Mediterranean basin and to analyze the genetic structure of olive cultivar gene pools. The markers were found to have high discrimination power. On average, with a single assay it was possible to discriminate 96% of the pairwise comparisons and, with a combination of 3 loci, virtually all...
