One of the most prevalent environmental stresses that affects plants physically and physiologically is 
 low temperature. Since temperature adversely plant productivity Researchers investigated molecular processes regulate effects cold stress on discovered many responsive genes as well control mechanisms them. CBF/DREB (C repeat binding factor/dehydration response element factor) transcrip...

Heterodera mediterranea completes embryogenic development in 15-18 days at 24 +/- 2 C. On olive and pistachio seedlings the postembryogenic development was completed in 42-50 days at 24-30 C. Juveniles and adults have semiendoparasitic habits and do not penetrate completely into the root tissue. This cyst forming nematode has been detected only on Olea europaea, Pistacia lentiscus, and P. vera....

A new species, Agistemus aimogastaensis, is described with the aid of optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy. This mite is an important predator of two eriophyid mites (Aceria oleae and Oxycenus maxwelli) in olive orchards (Olea europaea, variety Arauco) in La Rioja Province. The problems related to eriophyids in olive orchards in Argentina are highlighted and photos of the damage on leaves a...

Olea europaea L. var. sylvestris (Miller) Lehr is an inseparable entity of the Mediterranean people, used in traditional medicine for its many therapeutic virtues.Its leaves are rich polyphenols.In present study we wanted to research polyphenolic components which it rich. The method high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and evaluation antioxidant activity methanolic extract leaves. For ...

INTRODUCTION The phenolic compounds of olive leaves and olive oils in the Mediterranean diet have been associated with a reduced incidence of heart disease. Accordingly, antioxidant-rich diets may prevent the deleterious effects of oxidative metabolism by scavenging free radicals, thus inhibiting oxidation and delaying atherosclerosis. The process involves phospholipase C activation and arachid...
