We studied 200 trees belonging to 20 accessions of cultivated olive (O. europaea L.) from 4 regions of origin, evaluated by means of agromorphological traits and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The agromorphological traits showed high variation between genotypes and significant correlation coefficients were obtained among the values recorded in two consecutive years, 2013 and 2014. The maximum coefficient of variation for the quantitative agronomic traits was observed in fruit weight wet (13.45%), while the lowest was found in stone width (3.18%). Fruit shape index, leaf length, leaf width, and lenticel size also showed variability. With both DNA-based and agromorphological …

Plum pox virus (PPV) is the causal agent of sharka disease of stone fruit trees. Since the late 1960s, PPV infection has been reported in different regions of Turkey. In this study, we aim to discover PPV strains in infected regions and determine its genetic variability in Turkey. For this reason, 612 samples were collected from distant locations, where PPV was previously detected in most cases. First, PPV presence in the samples was tested with serological and molecular methods to confirm the disease. Then 314 positive samples were sequence analyzed at a 664-nucleotide length, including the P3-6K1 gene region, one …
