   Aug 1, 2021 · The olive trees that comprise the Bidnija grove in Malta are clearly old, with gnarled and hollow trunks, and they can certainly be termed ‘veteran’ (Lonsdale, 2013). Their likely mid- to late-Medieval age, as established by this research, has however highlighted erroneous links previously drawn between these remnant olive trees and the ...

   Mar 18, 2024 · An old olive grove that dates back to the Middle Ages , located in the Bidnija area on Malta Island was sampled by collecting randomly young leaves, taking them from both the upper part (samples named B1–B12 in Table 1) and the lower part of the crown (samples named G1–G12 in Table 1) three feet above the ground and analyzed separately.

   Are Bidni trees grafted?

   • The analysis revealed a high genetic diversity of Maltese germplasm, totaling 84 alleles and a Shannon information index (I) of 1.08. All samples from the upper and the lower part of the crown of the Bidni trees belonged to the same genotype, suggesting that there was no secondary top-grafting of the branches.

   Is Bidni resistant to X fastidiosa?

   • The genetic relationship with the Italian genotypes resistant to X. fastidiosa makes the variety Bidni an interesting candidate whose profile of resistance should be further investigated in order to expand the range of varieties suitable for converting infected olive orchards into resilient areas and for the conservation of olive tree biodiversity.

   Are all samples from medieval olive groves a Bidni variety?

   • The genotyping carried out with 10 polymorphic SSRs confirmed that all samples from the medieval olive grove in the northwest of the island of Malta belonged to the Bidni variety. The only exception was sample G20 which was very similar to the Malti variety and was probably confused with sample K2, which instead belonged to the Bidni variety.
