Abstract:

This study intended to take into consideration five autochthonous varieties discovered in the territory of centennial olive groves to describe certification of identity through morphological markers and microsatellite primers. The chosen method and the results showed that the qualitative and quantitative features varied in a wide range (23% up to 73%) and were responsible for the morphological polymorphism. PCA expresses seven features that mastered 95.22% of the variability. Eight polymorph microsatellites are identified and used to five genotypes. Around 36 alleles have been identified and the molecular frequencies varied within 0.10 up to 0.71 a wide range. Observed values and expected to heterozygosity are 0,40 up to 0,95 and 0,51- 0,96, respectively. SSR molecular markers in correlation with the morphological ones provide a specific genetic profile for each genotype because they have large distance. Conclusions of the study include five olive genotypes different not only among each other, but simultaneously among autochthonous varieties. The eight microsatellite predominant markers and 7 morphological features were found useful to be applied in the characterizations.
