In olive fruits, sugars are the main soluble components providing energy and acting as precursors for olive oil biosynthesis. Large quantities of glucose, fructose and galactose are often found in olive pulp. To analyze sugar transport processes in Olea europaea, a cDNA encoding a monosaccharide transporter, designated OeMST2 (Olea europaea monosaccharide transporter 2) was cloned. An open read...

Olive is one of the most important crops in Mediterranean Basin, because olive oil economic value and its role characterization rural landscape. The strong influence climatic changes on modern agriculture availability a large source genetic variability pose as crucial future challenges. Therefore, safeguarding resources becomes fundamental, not only cultivated forms ex situ collections, but als...

Increasing the level of urea and uric acid is an associated complication of diabetes mellitus. Many spices and herbs are known to be hypoglycaemic. Olea europaea belonging to the family oleaceae is widely used in herbal medicine for the treatment of diabetes. The present study was carried out to investigate the role of the alcoholic extract from leaves of olive on level of urea and uric acid in...

Methods: PUBMED, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, EMBASE, SCIENCEDIRECT, PROQUEST, OVID, EBSCO, GOOGLE, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR were searched. The PRISMA guideline was observed. The search terms were Iran, Iranian, plant, herb, antihyp...

Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and...

Plant triterpenoids represent a large and structurally diverse class of natural products. A growing interest has been focused on triterpenoids over the past decade due to their beneficial effects on human health. We show here that these bioactive compounds are major constituents of several aerial parts (floral bud, leaf bud, stem, and leaf) of olive tree, a crop exploited so far almost exclusiv...

The analysis of publications is devoted to the problem treatment and prevention gastroesophageal reflux disease with use cytoprotectors. Special attention paid Gastrotop, new complex plant origin. Gastrotop (Еrвоzета S.p.A, San Marino) a medication cytoprotective action, containing Mucosave CG, standardized polysaccharides from stems Indian prickly pear (Opuntia ficus‑indica, 33.5%), leaves Eur...

Comparisons among methods are essential to validate plant traits measured across studies. However, a rigorous analysis is complex task that needs take into account not only the principle of method and its correct use, but also inherent intraspecific trait variability, something we feel fully considered by Sergent et al. (2020). They compared Bench dehydration, MicroCT, Pneumatic using three lon...

BACKGROUND Environment-mediated pollen production varies over time and space, influencing pollen exposure risk and ultimately patient sensitization trends. In order to assess temporal variation of pollen incidence and patient sensitization, we set up a pollen incidence and patient sensitization survey in the city of Elche, Spain, over a 10-years interval. METHODS Pollen counts were obtained f...
