“…Other grades exist, but they have no such a high reputation (Breton et al 2004). About 3,000 olive cultivars are named and only a few are now spread world wide (Bartolini et al 1998). Most are local and display a range of morphological traits of fruits and organoleptic criteria for oil.…”

“…It is used as graft stock to the olive to provide vigour and possible resistance to olive fungal diseases. However, grafting is tedious and expensive and has been abandoned (Costa 1998), thus we would explore the opportunity to cross the two subspecies if natural hybrids exist (Besnard et al 2001). However, in this respect we first examine the oil content and the oil composition of subsp.…”

Oleaster (var. sylvestris) and subsp. cuspidata are suitable genetic resources for improvement of the olive Abstract The olive belongs to Olea, a complex genus and to a species with six subspecies. Subsp. europaea includes both the cultivated olive and the oleaster, the wild ancestor of the olive. Little is known on the phenotype of fruits from subsp. cuspidata. We the possible uses of these taxa for breeding both the olive and brown olive.

“…In the Near East center of domestication (the ''Fertile Crescent''), the wild ancestors of the crops upon which agriculture was founded are known (e.g., wheats, barley, pea, lentil, and chickpea) (12). The geographic distributions of these wild ancestors, together with biochemical and genetic data, have been used to suggest that emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, peas, chickpeas, and lentils were domesticated from wild progenitors just once or a few times in a single geographic region (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) In contrast to the Near East center, crops domesticated in the Mediterranean region and other parts of the world have been derived more than once from their wild progenitors [e.g., olives (19)(20)(21), rice (22,23), and breadfruit (24)]. Within the Mesoamerican center of domestication (Central Mexico to northwestern Costa Rica), at least 80 native species have been cultivated historically (2, 3 25-29).…”

Contemporary patterns of genetic variation in crops reflect historical processes associated with domestication, such as the geographic origin(s) of cultivated populations. Although significant progress has been made in identifying several global centers of domestication, few studies have addressed the issue of multiple origins of cultivated plant populations from different geographic regions within a domestication center. This study investigates the domestication history of jocote (Spondias purpurea), a Mesoamerican cultivated fruit tree. Sequences of the chloroplast spacer trnG-trnS were obtained for cultivated and wild S. purpurea trees, two sympatric taxa (Spondias mombin var. mombin and Spondias radlkoferi), and two outgroups (S. mombin var. globosa and Spondias testudinus). A phylogeographic approach was used and statistically significant associations of clades and geographical location were tested with a nested clade analysis. The sequences confirm that wild populations of S. purpurea are the likely progenitors of cultivated jocote trees. This study provides phylogeographic evidence of multiple domestications of this Mesoamerican cultivated fruit tree. Haplotypes detected in S. purpurea trees form two clusters, each of which includes alleles recovered in both cultivated and wild populations from distinct geographic regions. Cultivated S. purpurea populations have fewer unique trnG-trnS alleles than wild populations; however, five haplotypes were absent in the wild. The presence of unique alleles in cultivation may reflect contemporary extinction of the tropical dry forests of Mesoamerica. These data indicate that some agricultural habitats may be functioning as reservoirs of genetic variation in S. purpurea.crop origins ͉ Mesoamerica ͉ phylogeography ͉ genetic variation
