In this study, antifungal property of olive leaf extracts against Candida albicans PTCC-5027 was examined. Fresh olive leaf extracts were prepared using distilled water in a Soxhlet apparatus. The antifungal activity of the extract was analyzed by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), using the microdilution test and disc diffusion assa...

Data from Spanish and Italian olive orchards with different cultivars (‘‘Manzanilla’’, ‘‘Frantoio’’, ‘‘Leccino’’, ‘‘Razzola’’ and ‘‘Taggiasca’’) growing in different environments (southern Spain; north, centre and south of Italy) were used to illustrate how models on water use and photosynthetic behaviour of the olive tree can be useful tools for choosing pruning intensity and canopy shape for ...

Differences in pest management of olive orchards may affect the development of olive trees and may be reflected in terms of absolute and relative asymmetry, mass, and quality of the leaves. Leaf mass and residual leaf mass of olive trees were significantly greater under organic management than other pest management regimes. The analysis revealed that leaves from trees under different pest manag...

the influenza viruses are major etiologic agents of human respiratory infections, and inflict a sizable health and economic burden. this study examines the antiinfluenza virus activity of hydroalcoholic extract of olive leaves (olhe). olive leaves were collected from gardens around the city of shiraz, characterized, dried, ground to powder, and its hydroalcoholic extract was prepared. the influ...
