Abstract
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were applied to assess the genetic stability of micropropagated olive (Olea europaea L. cv. Maurino) plants regenerated by axillary buds. Initial olive explants, isolated from one donor tree, were multiplied on Murashige and Skoog medium for 12 repeated subcultures. A total of 40 RAPD and 10 ISSR markers resulted in 301 distinct and reproducible band classes showing homogeneous RAPD and ISSR patterns. The amplification products revealed genetic stability among the micropropagated plants and between them and the donor plant. The results demonstrate the genetic stability of nine year old mature micropropagated olive plants cultured in field, and corroborated the fact that axillary multiplication is the safest mode for multiplication of true to type plants.
