“…Recently, some studies reported a correlation between morphological and molecular data for the determination of genetic relationships between olive cultivars (Taamalli et al, 2006;D'Imperio et al, 2011), but in several other studies conducted on olive, genetic diversity assessment of morphological and molecular data was not significantly correlated Rao et al, 2009;Belaj et al, 2011). However, there is no report on the association of molecular markers with any morphological and agronomic fruit traits in olive to our knowledge.…”

“…However, the clustering of olive cultivars with AFLP markers and fruit characteristics was not significantly correlated according to the Mantel test. Low or no correlation between morphological characters and molecular data in olive has also been reported in several studies Rao et al, 2009;Belaj et al, 2011). Contrary to these studies, D'Imperio et al (2011) found a very high correlation with the Mantel test between morphological and molecular data obtained by evaluating eight SSR markers and 31 morphological descriptors in samples of leaves, drupes and pits of three olive cultivars.…”

“…For breeding and other genetic studies, molecular markers linked to traits of interest are highly desired in plants. The use of molecular markers in the selection program can accelerate breeding studies in olive, which is considered one of the fruit crops with the longest juvenile period (Rao et al, 2009).…”

ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to characterize olive core collection with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers and fruit traits and to determine AFLP markers significantly associated with these fruit characters in olive. A total of 168 polymorphic AFLP markers generated by five primer combinations and nine fruit traits were used to characterize relationships between 18 olive cultivars. Although all olive cultivars were discriminated from each other by either AFLP markers (<0.75 similarity level) or fruit traits, clustering based on the AFLP markers and fruit traits was not significantly correlated (r = 0.13). Partial clustering of olive cultivars by AFLP markers according to their geographical origin was observed. Associations of AFLP markers with fruits were determined using a multiple-regression analysis with stepwise addition of AFLP markers. Significant associations between eight AFLP markers and fruit traits were identified. While five AFLP markers demonstrated significant negative correlation with fruit and stone weight, width and length and total polyphenols (P < 0.05), three AFLP markers displayed significant positive correlation with α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol (P < 0.01). This is the first report on the association of molecular markers with fruit traits in olive. Molecular markers associated with morphological and agronomic traits could be utilized for the breeding of olive cultivars. However, the association power of these markers needs to be confirmed in larger populations, and highly correlated markers should then be converted to PCR-based DNA markers such as sequence-characterized amplified region markers for better utilization.

“…In addition, molecular analysis provides additional information that is independent of environmental effects and in P. vulgaris, it has proved to be a valuable tool for association mapping and the study of genetic diversity, population structure and phylogenetic relationships (Beebe et al, 1995;Bitocchi et al, 2012;Blair et al, 2009;Metais et al, 2000;Shi et al, 2011). Moreover, DNA analyses of plant genetic resources are valuable to identify duplicate accessions in core collections and possible cases of homonymy and synonymy in cultivated landraces (Corrado et al, 2014;Rao et al, 2009).…”

“…DNA polymorphisms can also be revealed by AFLPs; unlike RAPDs, this technique is highly reproducible as it combines restriction digestion and PCR. Although technically demanding, AFLP markers are still in vogue in molecular genetics research also because they are able to reveal variability in closely related genotypes [21][22][23][24].…”

Media constantly refer of unscrupulous producers that adulterate, alter or replace premium products in food chains with the goal to maximize illegally profits. Food traceability is a central issue for the identification of improper labeling of processed food and feed and there are rules aimed to protect consumers and producers against fraudulent substitution of quality products in food chain, but the tools available are not always appropriate. DNA-based markers proved very effective for fresh and processed food molecular authentication. In this review, we illustrate potential and limits of different DNA markers focusing on low, medium and high-throughput markers, in order to monitor the genetic identity of food components in meat, fish and plants net-chains.
