Genetic relationships in the olive (Olea europaea L.) reflect multilocal selection of cultivars

TLDR
Factorial discriminant analyses showed that RAPD profiles were correlated with the use of the fruits and the country or region of origin of the cultivars, suggesting that cultivar selection has occurred in different genetic pools and in different areas.
Abstract
One hundred and two olive RAPD profiles were sampled from all around the Mediterranean Basin. Twenty four clusters of RAPD profiles were shown in the dendrogram based on the Ward’s minimum variance algorithm using chi-square distances. Factorial discriminant analyses showed that RAPD profiles were correlated with the use of the fruits and the country or region of origin of the cultivars. This suggests that cultivar selection has occurred in different genetic pools and in different areas. Mitochondrial DNA RFLP analyses were also performed. These mitotypes supported the conclusion also that multilocal olive selection has occurred. This prediction for the use of cultivars will help olive growers to choose new foreign cultivars for testing them before an eventual introduction if they are well adapted to local conditions.

The use of ISSR and RAPD markers for detecting DNA polymorphism, genotype identification and genetic diversity among barley cultivars with known origin

TL;DR: Bulk analyses of RAPD and ISSR PCR markers provides a quick, reliable and highly informative system for DNA fingerprinting and also permit to establish genetic relationships which agree with, by other means, known origin of the cultivars.

Hierarchical Grouping to Optimize an Objective Function

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for forming hierarchical groups of mutually exclusive subsets, each of which has members that are maximally similar with respect to specified characteristics, is suggested for use in large-scale (n > 100) studies when a precise optimal solution for a specified number of groups is not practical.

Historical Genetics: The Parentage of Chardonnay, Gamay, and Other Wine Grapes of Northeastern France

TL;DR: Sixteen wine grapes that have long been grown in northeastern France, including 'Chardonnay', 'Gamay noir', 'Aligoté', and 'Melon', have microsatellite genotypes consistent with their being the progeny of a single pair of parents, 'Pinot' and 'Gouais blanc', both of which were widespread in this region in the Middle Ages.

Olive genetic diversity assessed using amplified fragment length polymorphisms

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that cultivars and wild plants are different forms of the same O. europaea species, and the Olea from East Africa and Asia may be assigned to a different species, while the role of O. maroccana as an intermediary form is confirmed.
