英文摘要	The olive originated in the Mediterranean region, and is most extensively cultivated oleiferous tree species in the world due to its high economic value. The olive has been introduced to China for more than 50 years, and some cultivars have showed good ecological suitability. The plantation of olive in China is increasing rapidly. However, many olive trees during the fruiting age showed the low fruit-setting rates and unstable fruit yields. Studies on pollination biology of olive are important to improve olive fruit-setting rates, genetic resources, and clonal selection and cross-breeding. Overseas much have been done about studies on pollination biology of olive, which are still scarce in China. In this paper, we presented a review of the recent advances in the pollination biology of olive, with the emphasis on blossom phenological characteristics, floral morphology, pollen germination, mating system, as well as their impacts on the fruit set of olive. The future researches in China were subsequently suggested as follows: (1) Strengthen the basic researches of olive pollination biology, including the ratio between monoecious and andromonoecious flowers in main introduced cultivars, the mechanisms for the maintenance of the olive sexual system, and the functional differences between monoecious and andromonoecious flowers and their relationship with wind-pollination, (2) Both field artificial pollination and molecular technology should be combined to elucidate the olive breeding system of cultivars, to explore the genetic and physiological mechanisms of self-infertility and cross-pollination, and to find the determinative factors of affecting the pollination compatibility of various cultivars, and (3) Studies on both olive pollination biology and breeding system should be combined to analyze comprehensively the effects of pollination and fertilization processes on fruit setting and early fruit development.
