Olive anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum, is an important disease in olive-growing regions, with the most destructive symptoms being fruit rot and blossom blight. Susceptibility of to Colletotrichum increases maturity, but differences between cultivars species have been reported, still information on flower susceptibility during development scarce. The olive Arbequina, Coratina, Frantoio Pic...

Determining of chilling and heat requirements of olive cultivars growing in Fars Province is important for the selection of cultivars that will exhibit satisfactory growth and development. The purposes of this study were determining the chilling and heat requirements of olive and comparison of Utah and Positive Utah Chill unit (PCU) models for determining the chilling requireme...

This paper reports a methodology for fast analysis of two important antioxidants: tyrosol and oleuropein in real samples of alimentary oils by using a ready-to-use portable microfluidic system (MicruX ® iHVStat) based on microchips electrophoresis with electrochemical detection. The portable system integrates for the first time a high voltage power supply and a bipotentiostat for using microflu...

Olive (Olea europaea L.) consumption and production are socially and economically important in Iran. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the vegetative characteristics, floral biology, fruit characteristics, oil percentage, and yield of eleven olive cvs. (‘Arbequina’, ‘Amygdalolia’, ‘Bledy’, ‘Roghani’, ‘Zard’, ‘Sevillana’, ‘Koroneiki’, ‘Conservalia’, ‘Gordal Sevillana’, ‘Manzanilla’, and...

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is a crop well adapted to the environmental conditions prevailing in the Mediterranean Basin. Nevertheless, the increasing international demand for olive oil and table olives in the last two decades has led to expansion of olive cultivation in some countries of the southern hemisphere, notably in Argentina, Chile, Perú and Australia. While the percentage of world produc...
