CHARACTERIZATION OF OLIVE CULTIVARS IN JORDAN

at CNR ISAFOM library

 

 Locandina seminario

The seminar includes a comprehensive overview for olive cultivation in Jordan and it's geographical distribution,then talking about the most important Jordanian olive cultivars ,and the role of   national collection for olive cultivars  of native and foreign at Al Mushaqqar station, and  mentioned some scientific papers published related with the molecular and morphological characterization for Jordanian cultivars and then talking about the my tasks that were introduced in C.N.R which included applied different DNA analysis method for our cultivars .

"During my secondment to the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania I performed many tasks related to my secondment topic “Defining the capacity of 3 main Greek olive varieties to face environmental stresses mainly referred to climatic changes (e.g. drought & salt stress)”. First of all, many discussions were conducted and many ideas were exchanged in order to design our experiment. Then our olive plants were brought from the nursery and we have been taking care of them while we were preparing the glass house, the planting mixture, the irrigation system and the nutrient solution. Once everything was ready, we transplanted the olive plants into the barrels in the glass house and we let them to acclimatize. Many article readings were conducted for a better understanding of the olive tree physiology and response to stress."
