TL;DR: An overview of the most widely used molecular techniques for fresh and processed agri-food authentication and traceability can be found in this paper, where the main advantages and limitations of these techniques are discussed.

TL;DR: The work allowed obtaining information about the genetic diversity of Apulian germplasm, to clarify cases of homonymy and synonymy, to check the sanitary status, and to identify candidate genotypes useful both to set up breeding programs and to enrich the panel of olive cultivars available to farmers for commercial exploitation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Vitis vinifera INNER NO OUTER (INO) gene was identified in silico and investigated its phylogenetic relationship to INO genes from other species and its expression in different organs in seeded and seedless varieties.

TL;DR: The analysis showed a huge genetic variability in the oleaster, and the STRUCTURE and Principal Coordinate Analyses highlighted clusterization of genotypes according to their geographic origin and bioclimatic conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a pattern of nine minor genotypes cultivated in three Italian regions has been molecularly fingerprinted with 12 nuclear microsatellites (SSRs) that were able to unequivocally identify all genotypes.
