This book provides an introduction to the genetics, genomics, and
breeding of the olive tree, a multi-functional long-lived crop
plant that is relevant not only for culinary olive and oil
production, but also for shaping the landscape and history of many
rural areas for centuries. Today, the recognized health benefits of
extra-virgin olive oil provide new impulses for introducing
innovation in olive crop management and olive breeding for a deeper
understanding of the biological processes underlying fruit quality,
adaptation to crop environment and response to threatening
epidemics due to biological agents such as Xylella fastidiosa. The
individual chapters discuss genetic resources; classic and modern
breeding methods for providing new olive cultivars; the genotype x
environment interactions determining the response to biotic and
abiotic stresses; fruit metabolism related to oil production and
the synthesis of health beneficial molecules; the mapping of genes
and quantitative trait locus; and genomic, transcriptomic and
proteomic strategies pertinent to the development of a molecular
platform and template amenable to precise and rapid genetic
modifications using recently developed genome editing tools.
