ABSTRACT: Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the subtropical fruit tree with remarkable economic
importance. This study was conducted to evaluate the variation and inter-relationship of 31 olive genotypes
including seven Iranian and 24 foreign genotypes collected in a germplasm using Simple Sequence Repeat
(SSR) markers. In this research, 7 SSR primer pairs out of 17 SSRs were used for fingerprinting of the
genotypes. Totally, 37 SSR polymorphic alleles were detected. Classification of genotypes based on UPGMA
criterion located them in three major groups. In this study, Iranian cultivars and ecotypes of olive, clustered
separately from Mediterranean cultivars. This is concluded that SSR markers could efficiently clarify the
existent genetic variability in olive, and the identified genetic variability is somewhat in coincidence with the
geographical distribution of olive genotypes.
