Palestinian Olive DNA Study
The Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture announced on November 7, 2026, the completion of a study by researchers from An-Najah National University, Italy’s Institute of Biosciences and BioResources, and the Palestinian National Center for Agricultural Research. The study examined the genetic diversity of local and ancient olive cultivars and identified their genetic fingerprints. The researchers compared Palestinian cultivars with hundreds of cultivars and plant samples from different parts of the world. The results revealed the richness of local genetic diversity and the distinctive genetic origins of ancient trees. The ministry said that documenting genetic fingerprints helps verify the authenticity of cultivars and protect them from mixing and extinction, while preserving Palestinian genetic resources and agricultural biodiversity.
