Phenotyping for Resilient Olive Tree Traits

This project aims to evaluate olive tree responses to biotic and abiotic stresses and identify traits relevant to resilient fruit systems production. It involves partners from Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Greece, and focuses on traits such as early flowering, tolerance to high temperature, drought, salinity, olive fruit fly, and Verticillium wilt. Various measurements and assessments will be conducted over a span of three years.

  3. Olive - WPs and tasks

  4. WP1. Phenotyping for traits relevant to resilient fruit systems production Task 1.1 Evaluation of plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses in germplasm collections Targeted traits and Number of cultivars for eachpartner

  5. WP1. Phenotyping for traits relevant to resilient fruit systems production Task 1.1 Evaluation of plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses in germplasm collections Targeted trait: Earlyflowering to avoidheat stress Years 1, 2 and 3 Participating partners: ALL Measurements: Record once every week phenological stages according to Sanz Cortes et al., 2002. Start as soon as possible for as more cultivars as possible. Simple: date, cultivar, stage of flowering (number of stage) Example: 10/04/2019, Frantoio, 50 Koroneiki, 48 Arbequina, 52 etc. In case of available human resources, more measurements that are useful are: 1. Flowering load of the tree. Scale from 0% (no flowers at all) to 100% (tree full of flowers) 2. Number of inflorescences (we measure the length of flowering shoot and the number of inflorescence, so that the result is number of inflor. per meter of shoot)in 4-10 shoots (3-4 trees) per cultivar. 3. Percentage of hermaphrodite flowers (we collect 20 inflorescence from 3-4 trees per cultivar, for each inflorescence we count total number of flowers and number of hermaphrodite flowers.

  6. WP1. Phenotyping for traits relevant to resilient fruit systems production Task 1.1 Evaluation of plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses in germplasm collections Targeted trait: Tolerance to high temperature stress Years 1, 2 and 3 • Participating partners: ENSA, INRA-MO, IOSV • Growing of potted plants 1) outdoors, under natural conditions • 2) inside a greenhouse / growth chamber with elevated temperature • Use uniform plants of the same age and overall condition. Apply the same care, fertilizer, pest control, etc. • Use 5-10 cultivars, preferably local, (for example, 4 local and 1 international, or 8 local and 2 international) • Suggested international: Koroneiki, Arbequina. • All plants are initially grown outdoors. One week before flower opening (in estimation) one group of plants is transferred to the greenhouse for higher temperature and the other remains outside. • Measurements: • Number of inflorescence / plant for all plants one week before flower opening. • Pollen germination in vitro. • Number of fruits 2 weeks after full bloom. • Add measurements according to your facilities and expertise e.g. gas exchange, gene expression, enzyme activity, spectral signatures, etc. • Use temperature recorder inside and outside the greenhouse (preferably hourly T).
