“…The olive cultivation has spread throughout the world by clonal replicas of a diverse group of cultivars, whose main origin is the Mediterranean Sea Basin (Mora, Tapia, Ibacache, Nunes-Martins, & Alberto-Scapim, 2008). However, there are in the olive tree classification, more than 3000 synonyms and homonyms still to be reclassified (Özkaya, Ergülen, Ülger, & Özilbey, 2004;Rallo et al, 2005;Pereira, Oliveira, Kanashiro, & Costa, 2015;Adakalic & Lazovic, 2018), generating confusion and uncertainty about their correct identity (Özkaya et al, 2004;Alba, Montemurro, Sabetta, Pasqualone, & Blanco, 2009). This identity problem is caused because the characters used to classify them are usually influenced by local environmental fluctuations (Levin & Lavee, 2005;Mora et al, 2008;Besnard, Rubio de Casas, Christin, &Vargas, 2009;Matías, Toro, Montalván, & Molina, 2010;Lubna et al, 2019;Ali et al, 2021).…”
