Olive, representing one of the most important fruit crops of the Mediterranean area, is
characterized by a general low fruit yield, due to numerous constraints, including alternate …

Olive is one of the most ancient fruit trees and has been cultivated for its oil for thousands of
years. A mature olive tree produces about 500,000 flowers. They are borne on …

The olive (Olea europaea L.) is a typical important perennial crop species for which the
genetic determination and even functionality of self‐incompatibility (SI) are still largely …

Self‐incompatibility (SI) in flowering plants potentially represents a major obstacle for sexual
reproduction, especially when the number of S‐alleles is low. The situation is extreme in the …

Self‐incompatibility (SI) is the main mechanism that favors outcrossing in plants. By limiting
compatible matings, SI interferes in fruit production and breeding of new cultivars. In the …

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an important Mediterranean tree species with a longstanding
history of cultivation, boasting a diverse array of local cultivars. While traditional olive …

Trendy high-density olive fields are often monovarietal orchards, mostly using the cultivar
Arbequina. However, Arbequina shows a strong self-incompatibility response, and its yields …

The 'pollen test'and 'fruit set test'following controlled crossing combinations of parents are
the most commonly used methods for pollination incompatibility studies in Olea europaea L …

In the present work, a set of eight new hexa-nucleotide simple sequence repeats (SSRs) is
reported in olive (Olea europaea L). These SSRs loci were generated on the basis of …

In non-traditional production regions, olive cultivation is facing challenges sometimes
associated with poor fruit set. That is the case of Uruguay, where olive cultivation has …
