The olive tree (Olea europaea L.), which characterizes the agriculture of Mediterranean basin, faces challenges adapting to high-density orchards and mechanized cultivation. This study addresses a key issue: controlling size enhance efficiency manageability in Utilizing genetic mapping methods, we have identified significant Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) candidate genes associated with low-vigor traits trees. Our research on 'Koroneiki' F2 progeny, exhibits low vigor but remains...
The long-lived and evergreen olive tree dominates the Mediterranean landscape, representing an agroecological cultural symbol a genetic heritage of inestimable value. Sicily, for historical, geographical, reasons, has very rich distinctive germplasm. In this work, large survey was conducted to discover, collect, characterize diversity centennial monumental trees from historical sites, such as Greek Temple Valley (Agrigento), ancient gardens, or farmland present in western part island. Trees...
Salinity stress represents an increasing issue for agriculture and has a great negative impact on plant growth crop production. The selection of genotypes able to tolerate salt could be suitable solution overcome the problem. In this context, in vitro cultures can represent tool identifying NaCl tolerant quickly producing large populations them. possibility exerting tolerance by using encapsulation technology was investigated two fig: ‘Houmairi’ ‘Palazzo’. effects five concentrations (0, 50,...
