Article Synopsis
- Current strategies to control Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO) are limited, highlighting the need for new approaches in olive crossbreeding programs.
- This study analyzed the basal metabolome of 43 olive cultivars with different resistance levels, using a cutting-edge UHPLC-ESI-TimsTOF MS/MS platform to identify over 70 metabolites across olive organs (roots, stems, and leaves).
- Significant differences in the metabolome were found between resistant and susceptible cultivars, with stem tissue showing the most potential for distinguishing between them, identified by key markers related to VWO susceptibility.
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is recognized for its nutritional virtues and the beneficial health effects deriving from its hydrophilic fraction (phenolic acids, phenolic alcohols, flavonoids, and secoiridoids). The phenolic compounds of EVOOs possess multiple biological properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties, among others. Considering that EVOOs produced in Greece are recognized as high-quality products due to their rich phenolic content, it is imperative to characterize Greek monovarietal EVOOs and ensure that their uniqueness is closely linked to their botanical and territorial origin.
