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.read more

TL;DR: The results suggest the existence of at least two important origins for the cultivated germplasm, one in the Near East and another in the western Mediterranean region, the latter of which gave rise to many of the current Western European cultivars.

Documenting Domestication: New Genetic and Archaeological Paradigms
TL;DR: This groundbreaking volume for the first time brings together leading archaeologists and biologists working on the domestication of both plants and animals to consider a wide variety of archaeological and genetic approaches to tracing the origin and dispersal of domesticates.

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.

Olive groves: ``The life and identity of the Mediterranean''
TL;DR: Olive tree cultivation in the Mediterranean goes back to ancient times as mentioned in this paper, and even since the Roman Age, olive cultivation spreadto the entire Mediterranean basin and determined its rural landscape.

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.

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.
