“…The use of RAPD markers has been extremely common, alone or in combination with other markers (AFLPs, ISSRs, SSRs), to analyse the extent of genetic variability present in the germplasm of varieties of countries characterised by an old history of olive cultivation and oil production: Malta (Mazzitelli et al 2014), Jordan (Brake et al 2014), Greece (Linos et al 2014), Egypt (Elsheikh et al 2014), Iran (Sheidai et al 2014), Pakistan (Awan et al 2011), and Turkey (Coskun and Parlak 2013). In other papers, RAPD markers have been considered to study the potential presence of intra-cultivar variability (Ç elikkol Akçay et al 2014;Figueiredo et al 2013;Leva and Petruccelli 2012), the genetic relationships between cultivars (Gomes et al 2012), the genetic characterisation of minor cultivars in local regions (Parra-Lobato et al 2012), the results of in vitro mutagenesis, and the detection of possible mutants in olive calli caused by the use of sodium azide (Alborzian Deh Sheikh and Moradnejad 2014).…”
