Background Unravelling domestication processes is crucial for understanding how species
respond to anthropogenic pressures, forecasting crop responses to future global changes …

Self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms prevent self-fertilization in flowering plants based on
specific discrimination between self-and non-self pollen. Since this trait promotes …

Plants have evolved diverse self-incompatibility (SI) systems for outcrossing. Since Darwin's
time, considerable progress has been made toward elucidating this unrivaled reproductive …

In flowering plants, outcrossing is commonly ensured by self-incompatibility (SI) systems.
These can be homomorphic (typically with many different allelic specificities) or can …

Self-incompatibility (SI) has evolved independently multiple times and prevents self-
fertilization in hermaphrodite angiosperms. Several groups of Oleaceae such as jasmines …

Olive trees are the most cultivated evergreen trees in the Mediterranean Basin, where they
have deep historical and socioeconomic roots. The fungus Verticillium dahliae develops …

Climate change, with elevated temperatures throughout the year, affects many stages of the
reproductive growth and development of olives as well as oil quality at harvest. Although …

With global warming, mean winter temperatures are predicted to increase. Therefore,
understanding how warmer winters will affect the levels of olive flower induction is essential …

Pollination is essential for the production of most fruit and nut crops, yet it is often a limiting
factor for both yield and product quality. Mechanical pollination (MP) systems offer the …

Key message The latest results in DNA markers application and genomic studies in olive.
Abstract Olive (Olea europaea L.) is among the most ancient tree crops worldwide and the …
