ABSTRACT
Genetic diversity studies using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique were carried out on olive (for oil) ecotypes of Olea europeae L. for semi-arid region. Analysis of PCR products was achieved by using the simple matching coefficient and UPGMA clustering. Primers were identified and used in order to discriminate within the Ayvalik cultivar, which is moderate drought resistant. The diversity of RAPD patterns demonstrated the biodiversity among samples. The genetic variability was further subjected to pomological and biochemical analyses to support and determine the genetic variability.
