The olive tree is one of the most important economic, cultural, and environmental resources for Italy, in particular for the Apulian region, where it shows a wide diversity. The increasing attention to the continuous loss of plant genetic diversity due to social, economic and climatic changes, has favored a renewed interest in strategies aimed at the recovery and conservation of these genetic resources. In the frame of a project for the valorization of the olive Apulian biodiversity (Re.Ger.O.P. project), 177 minor genotypes were recovered in different territories of the region. They were submitted to morphological, molecular, technological and phytosanitary status analysis in comparison with reference cultivars, then they were propagated and transferred in an field. All the available information was stored in an internal regional database including photographic documentation and geographic position. The work allowed obtaining information about the genetic diversity of Apulian germplasm, to clarify cases of homonymy and synonymy, to check the sanitary status, and to identify candidate genotypes useful both to set up breeding programs and to enrich the panel of olive cultivars available to farmers for commercial exploitation.
橄榄树是意大利最重要的经济、文化和环境资源之一，特别是在普利亚地区，该地区的橄榄树表现出广泛的多样性。由于社会、经济和气候变化导致植物遗传多样性不断丧失，这一问题日益受到关注，这使得人们重新对旨在恢复和保护这些遗传资源的策略产生了兴趣。在一个旨在提升普利亚橄榄生物多样性的项目（Re.Ger.O.P.项目）框架内，在该地区的不同区域找回了177个次要基因型。与参考品种相比，对它们进行了形态、分子、技术和植物检疫状况分析，然后进行繁殖并转移到田间。所有可用信息都存储在一个内部区域数据库中，包括照片记录和地理位置信息。这项工作有助于获取有关普利亚种质遗传多样性的信息，澄清同名和同义的情况，检查卫生状况，并识别出对建立育种计划以及丰富可供农民进行商业开发的橄榄品种库有用的候选基因型。
