Remote sensing techniques based on images acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could represent an effective tool to speed up the data acquisition process in phenotyping trials and, consequently, reduce time and cost of field work. In this study, we assessed ability a UAV equipped with RGB-NIR cameras highlighting differences geometrical spectral canopy characteristics between eight oli...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The genus Olea (Oleaceae) includes approx. 40 taxa of evergreen shrubs and trees classified in three subgenera, Olea, Paniculatae and Tetrapilus, the first of which has two sections (Olea and Ligustroides). Olive trees (the O. europaea complex) have been the subject of intensive research, whereas little is known about the phylogenetic relationships among the other species. T...

To study the genetic diversity of 17 olive tree cultivars (Olea Europaea L.) sampled from different Mediterranean regions, we screened three SNP markers (ACP-1, ANTHO3, SOD) located in genes. The genotypes were depicted via genotyping analysis. dendrogram based on cultivar generated by revealed clusters which consistent with established classification. In addition, compared results obtained agr...

Mannitol is one of the primary photosynthetic products and the major phloem-translocated carbohydrate in Olea europaea L., an important crop in the Mediterranean basin. Uptake of mannitol in heterotrophic cell suspensions of O. europaea was shown to be mediated by a 1 : 1 polyol : H+ symport system with a Km of 1.3 mM mannitol and a Vmax of 1.3 nmol min(-1) mg(-1) DW. Dulcitol, sorbitol and xyl...
