“…Due to the ancient origin of olive cultivation in the region 4,5 , the Palestinian olive germplasm is characterized by a high level of diversity. Nevertheless, no successful experiences exist nowadays in establishing a complete database of the Palestinian olive germplasm based on molecular markers 6 nor on physic-chemical oil features.…”

“…Palynological and anthracological (fossil charcoal) evidence supports the occurrence of wild olive forms (O. europaea sssp sylvestris (Miller) Hegi ( ¼ var. oleaster (Hoffmanns and Link) DC), in forests of the Mediterranean Basin during the Paleolithic (Liphschitz et al, 1991). According to anthracological studies, during the Neolithic (10 000-7000 years ago), use of wild olive (oleasters) persisted in several parts of the Basin (Liphschitz et al, 1991;Zohary and Hopf, 1993).…”

It is currently assumed that individual oleaster trees showing superior performance for size and/or oil content of fruit were selected empirically and propagated vegetatively as clones, using cuttings that were planted directly or, more recently, grafted onto indigenous oleasters.…”

Allozyme variation of oleaster populations (wild olive tree) (Olea europaea L.) in the Mediterranean Basin

et al. 2004

As a result of the early domestication and extensive cultivation of the olive tree throughout the Mediterranean Basin, the wild-looking forms of olive (oleasters) presently observed constitute a complex, potentially ranging from wild to feral forms. Allozyme variation was analysed at 10 loci in 31 large and 44 small oleaster populations distributed in various habitats of the Mediterranean Basin and in two populations of the wild subspecies Olea europaea subsp (ssp) guanchica, endemic to the Canary islands and closely related to oleasters. At eight polymorphic loci, 25 alleles were identified. Genetic evidence that nondomesticated oleasters still survive locally was provided by the occurrence of four and one alleles shared exclusively by the eight western and two eastern oleaster populations, respectively, which were collected in forests potentially containing genuinely wild forms according to environmental, historical and demographic criteria. As reported previously from cytoplasmic and RAPDs analysis, substantial genetic differentiation was observed between the eastern oleaster populations genetically close to most olive clones cultivated in the Mediterranean Basin, and the western populations that are related to the wild Canarian populations. In addition, the occurrence of significantly lower heterozygosity in cultivated olive than in oleasters, whatever their origin, suggests that intensive selection involving inbreeding has taken place under cultivation to obtain particular characteristics in the olive cultivars.

“…Los frutos del acebnche son más pequeños, con un mesocarpo menos carnoso y con menos aceite, pero su hueso no es mucho más pequeño que el de la forma cultivada. La similitud morfológica entre las semillas de ambos tipos (Liphschitz et al, 1991) impide que podamos distinguirlos en las zonas donde existe la variedad silvestre, pero éste no parece ser el caso de Guipúzcoa. Es probable que en el Mediterráneo la aceituna se aprovechara económicamente mucho antes de comenzar el cultivo y la manipulación del olivo.…”
