Parental Effect on Agronomic and Olive Oil Traits in Olive Progenies from Reciprocal Crosses.

The analysis of the fatty acid profile in extra virgin olive oil (VOO) obtained from progenies of the reciprocal crosses ‘Arbosana’ × ‘Sikitita’ and ‘Sikitita’ × ‘Arbosana’ showed no significant differences in the variables saturated fatty acids (SFAs) (R2 = 0.020, p > 0.05) and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFAs) (R2 = 0.089, p > 0.05), and a slightly significant difference in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (R2 = 0.124, p < 0.05) ( Figure 3 A and Table 1 ).
