ABSTRACT. Net photosynthesis, dark respiration, chlorophyll and carbohydrate content, and leaf and shoot growth in plants of evergreen olive (Olea europaea L.) grown under controlled conditions were measured to assess changes in carbon balance during leaf development of the 6th, 12th, and 16th node (from the base, first flush) through expansion to maturity. Shoot and leaves expanded in a sigmoi...

fruits of olea europaea l. have been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat many inflammatory diseases. in order to evaluate the anti-nociceptive activities of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of defatted fruits of o. europaea, formalin test was used and for evaluation of anti-inflammatory effects of the extract, the volume of paw edema was measured. the results revealed that both extr...

We present the formulation, calibration and validation of a model to estimate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intercepted by olive (Olea europaea L.) canopies. The model calculates the PAR transmittance at any point located within the four central trees of the orchard. The spatial and time integration of this process allows calculation of PAR transmitted to the ground and, thus, the P...

In a grove in north-eastern Morocco 2020, severe root rot and crown symptoms were noticed on olive trees (Olea europaea). Pythium schmitthenneri was identified as the pathogen based conidia morphology cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COXII) gene sequence analysis. Koch's postulates verified by re-isolation of fungus P. from artificially inoculated seedlings after pathogenicity test. This is first...

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is a significant crop especially in Mediterranean countries. In Turkey olives and olive oil have major agricultural importance Olives been used not only nutrient as flavor enhancer dishes, but also medicine because of having essential roles for human health. the pharmaceutical value uses are related to biochemical content compounds. Mainly four chemical sources: mono-un...

Abstract Olea europaea L. (olive, Oleaceae) constitutes a source of many bioactive compounds, which have recognized benefits for both human health and technological purposes. The present article was carried out to evaluate the biological activity oleuropein (an ester 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol (hydroxytyrosol) has oleosidic skeleton that is common secoiridoid glucosides Oleaceae). It occur...
