Preface
Olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea), a multifunctional long-living tree crop, is relevant not only for table olive and oil production, but also for shaping and protecting the landscape and for its impact on human nutrition and rural lifestyle. It is usually accepted that olive has been primarily domesticated in the Levant. Then, three main clusters of the var. europaea inside the primary gene pools have been identified for the cultivated olive in Eastern, Central, and Western Mediterranean. These centers of diversity likely reflect crop diversification from East to West, but could also result from independent domestications. Gene exchanges between wild (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. sylvestris, named as oleaster) and cultivated olive have played a major role in the diversification of the crop. In the Mediterranean
