The present study was conducted to characterize eight olive genotypes (local and exotic) growing in Potohar region (Salt
Range) of Pakistan. The genotypes “BARI Zaitoon-I”, “Earlik I”, “Earlik-II”, “Frantoio”, “Mariana”, “Nocellara”, “Naqvi”
and “Sorani” were collected from different locations of Potohar. On the basis of morphological attributes, maximum leaf length
was observed in genotypes “Mariana” (6.26 cm) and “BARI Zaitoon-1” (6.24 cm), while maximum leaf width was observed
in genotypes “Frantoio” (158 cm) and "Naqvi” (153 cm). Regarding fruit weight, maximum fruit weight was measured in
“Mariana” (5.41 g) while the minimum fruit weight (0.93 g) was observed in genotype “Earlik II”. In biochemical assessment
of fatty acids composition, palmitic acid (13.80- 10.12%), palmitoleic acid (2.08-1.03%), oleic acid (77.14-70.47%) and
linolenic acid (1-0.21%) were found in mentioned ranges. Similarly, total polyphenols and peroxidase value found in selected
genotypes were in following ranges 321-144 mg kg-1
and 15-3.03 meq of O2/kg, respectively. The information from study
revealed that biochemical profiling of olive genotypes could be helpful for olive oil processing industry and for breeders to
conduct their future breeding programs
