Turkey is one of the major olive (Olea europeaea L.) producers in the world and the country has a wide variety of olive germplasm including local genotypes, local cultivars, and standard cultivars as well. However, there is little information on genetic structure of local olive genotypes that are extensively grown especially in southern Anatolia region in Turkey. We examined the genetic relatedness of 58 local Turkish olive genotypes sampled from forests of Sirnak province located in southern Anatolia by using 10 SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers that were previously developed for olive and widely used in different laboratories to assess genetic diversity and relatedness in olive. In the study 4 introduced foreign cultivars along with 6 well-known standard Turkish cultivars are also included in SSR analysis to make comparison with local genotypes. Allele diversity ranged from 8 (UDO9) to 24 (DCA9), (DCA18) an average 17.6 per SSR loci presenting high polymorphism and were found to be higher than in previous studies that used the same loci for olive. No relationship was found between the genetic relatedness and the geographical distributions of these genotypes and cultivars. The data reported here may be useful to prevent confusions of Turkish olive germplasm and could be important in future breeding activities.
