The beneficial effects of elevated CO2 on plants are expected to be compromised by the negative effects posed by other global changes. However, little is known about ozone (O3)-induced modulation of elevated CO2 response in plants with differential sensitivity to O3. An old (Triticum aestivum cv. Beijing 6, O3 tolerant) and a modern (T. aestivum cv. Zhongmai 9, O3 sensitive) winter wheat cultiv...

This study was carried out to study the proteome of date palm under salinity and drought stress conditions to possibly identify proteins involved in stress tolerance. For this purpose, three-month-old seedlings of date palm cultivar "Sagie" were subjected to drought (27.5 g/L polyethylene glycol 6000) and salinity stress conditions (16 g/L NaCl) for one month. DIGE analysis of protein extracts ...

Fruit anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species is a major disease of olive (Olea europaea) worldwide. In this study, we tested in vitro the susceptibility eight widely grown Italian cultivars and one Spanish cultivar to five species. The were Carolea, Cassanese, Coratina, Dolce Agogia, Frantoio, Leccino, Ottobratica Sant'Agostino. cultivar, included as reference, was Picual. species, pathog...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Genetic characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the oldest trees could be a powerful tool both for germplasm collection and for understanding the earliest origins of clonally propagated fruit crops. The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is a suitable model to study the origin of cultivars due to its long lifespan, resulting in the existence of both centennial and millennia...

Abstract The experiment was conducted on Rawa area at Al-Anbar governorate, western of Iraq, during 2021 and 2022 seasons by using 72 olive trees (Ashrasi cultivar) treated with 0, 15, 25 kg per tree from composted common reed waste cow, sheep, poultry manure, also 0 or 50 liters aqueous extract compost. results the statistical analysis showed that Olive were 80 % 20 manure compost its water ex...

In the olive production sector, which is increasingly expanding beyond borders of Mediterranean basin, harvesting most demanding phase, from both an economic and organisational point view. Traditional orchards are still predominant, with centuries-old large plants, characterised by gradual ripening drupes irregular planting patterns. Even though structural conversion these into more modern cult...

Understanding mechanisms of salt tolerance, physiological responses to salt stress, and screening genotypes for breeding programs are important scientific issues remained to be investigated in pistachio. Therefore, current study was carried out to investigate response of different pistachio cultivars (G1, G2, Kaleghochi and UCB1) to salinity treatments (0.6 as control, 10, 20 dS m-1 using salin...

drought is one of the most important factors limiting growth and yield in many parts of the world. in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress on some morphological and physiological traits of two cultivars of bean, two red beans (derakhshan and goli) in four drought treatments including 25%, 50%, 75%, control 100% field capacity were studied in a factorial experiment based on complete r...
