A wide array of fungal endophytes is known to inhabit plant tissues and were recently recognized as essential for health. better description the scarcely endophyte microbiota in olive tree phyllosphere first step elucidating microbial interactions that lead disease establishment. In this work, endophytic community different cultivars (Cobrançosa, Galega vulgar, Madural, Picual, Verdeal Transmon...

Skeletal degeneration due to aging, also known as osteoporosis, is a major health problem worldwide. Certain dietary components confer protection to our skeletal system against osteoporosis. Consumption of olives, olive oil and olive polyphenols has been shown to improve bone health. This review aims to summarize the current evidence from cellular, animal and human studies on the skeletal prote...

Olive fly is the most dangerous pest in olive groves worldwide. Therefore the study of the most susceptible and resistant cultivars to olive fly can bring new information to diminish the olive flies harmful impacts. The main goal of the present study is to verify the olfactory response of olive fly to olive volatiles from five native Iranian cultivars (Fishomi, Mari, Rowghani, Shengeh, and Zard...

Due to global warming, the cultivation range of many crops is extending at higher altitudes and latitudes exposing plants new climatic environmental conditions, as early spring frosts. To face these issues in a sustainable agriculture context, innovative technologies, use biostimulants manipulation plant microbiota, are emerging. Here, we focused on anarea Northern Italy which olive tree cultiv...

the effect of sub culturing frequencies and different cytokinins (benzyl amino purine (bap), 2-isopentenyl adenine (2ip) on genetic stability of micropropagated shoots from olive plant were investigated by using physiological traits and random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers. axillary buds of the olive (cv. dezful) plants were cultured and subcultured in dkw medium, supplemented with b...

A number of Pseudomonas strains function as inoculants for biocontrol, biofertilization, and phytostimulation, avoiding the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Here, we present a new metabolically versatile plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas rhizophila S211, isolated from a pesticide contaminated artichoke field that shows biofertilization, biocontrol and bioremediation ...

The health properties of virgin olive oil (VOO) are well known in the Mediterranean Diet, in which VOO is the main source of fat (Boskou, 2000). The Mediterranean area provides 97% of the total olive production of the world and represents a major industry in the region (Aragon & Palancar, 2001). The fatty acid composition is not the only healthy component of olive oil; in addition, minor compon...

Olive oil is concentrated in the Mediterranean basin countries. Since the olive oil industries are incriminated for a high quantity of pollution, it has become imperative to solve this problem by developing optimized systems for the treatment of olive oil wastes. This study proposes a solution to the problem. Burned olive waste ash is evaluated for using it as clay stabilizer. In a laboratory, ...

Olive fruits contain an n-alkane series of saturated hydrocarbons mainly in the pulp. Lower amounts of a complex mixture of paraffins, unresolved by gas chromatography (UCM--unresolved complex mixture), have been found in cuticle, stone (woody shell and seed), olive leaves, and talc used as an aid to olive oil extraction. The amounts of both kinds of hydrocarbons are related to the olive cultiv...

Olive oil phenolic compounds are potent antioxidants in vitro, but evidence for antioxidant action in vivo is controversial. We examined the role of the phenolic compounds from olive oil on postprandial oxidative stress and LDL antioxidant content. Oral fat loads of 40 mL of similar olive oils, but with high (366 mg/kg), moderate (164 mg/kg), and low (2.7 mg/kg) phenolic content, were administe...
