The wild olive distribution extends from the Mediterranean region to south Asia and Austral Africa. The species is also invasive, particularly in Australia. Here, we investigated the sequence variation at five nuclear single-copy genes in 41 native and invasive accessions of the Mediterranean and African olive subspecies. The nucleotide diversity was assessed and the phylogenetic relationships between alleles were depicted with haplotype networks. A Bayesian clustering method (STRUCTURE) was applied to identify the main gene pools. We found an average of 18.4 alleles per locus. Native Mediterranean and African olives only share one allele, which testifies for ancient admixture on the Red Sea hills. The presence of divergent alleles in the Mediterranean olive, as well as the identification of two main genetic clusters, suggests a complex origin with two highly differentiated gene pools from the eastern and western Mediterranean that recently admixed. In the invasive range, relatively high nucleotide diversity is observed as a consequence of the introduction of alleles from two subspecies. Our data confirm that four invasive individuals are early-generation hybrids. Finally, the utility of single-copy gene sequences in olive population genomic and phylogenetic studies is briefly discussed.
