Description
The Olive collection comprises about 1,700 different accessions, including clones and crosses of many European and extra-European varieties. A clonal field collection of Olive trees was planted in 2014 in Lugnano in Teverina (PG, Central Italy) and is currently maintained through the collaboration of the CNR-IBBR and CNR-ISAFOM institutes of Perugia. The main goal is the long-term preservation of the olive biodiversity as a source of genetic material for the selection and cultivation of new cultivars. Molecular identification, morphological characterization, and bio-agronomic and metabolic evaluation work are currently underway in these collections.
Keywords
