Olea europaea endopyhtes Targeted Locus (Loci)
The objective of this study was to determine and compare the structure of endophytic microbiota of 10 Olea europaea L. cultivars from the Mediterranean basin at one agricultural site in Spain and from nine wild olive trees located in natural habitats in Greece, Cyprus and on Madeira Island by a set of molecular and isolation-dependent methods. Moreover, the study addressed the question what factors shape the endophytic microbiome and, in particular, whether the bacterial and archaeal communities reflects the different geographic origins of the investigated olive genotypes.
