Natural resource based activities contribute a substantial share to the economic development of the developing countries including Pakistan. The communities inhabiting the remote and marginal mountainous areas in particular, depend heavily on natural resources to sustain their livelihood. Three major resources i.e. land; forests and water support the livelihood of mountains’ inhabitants. Due to...

in this regard, the morphophysiologic and anatomic characteristics of six olive cultivars (nabali, feshomi, arbequin, zard, gordal and roghani) were investigated under drought. experiments were designed based on factorial and complete block random plot with two control treatments, -1.5 mpa stress and three replicates. the investigated factors were as follows: leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf...

in the course of the present study, samples were taken from the non-defoliant strain of verticillium dahliae (ss-4) from infected olive groves in toshan area in southern gorgan. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, was recovered from infested olive seedlings and after identification was reaned on tomato seedlings cv. rutgers. during the study, one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars zard...

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...

the aim of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from olive leaves of cronaiky, roghani and mishen varieties by maceration and microwave-assisted extraction (mae) methods. our result revealed that effect of extraction method and variety was statistically significant (p<0.05) and mae-produced extracts have more total phenolics and antioxidant activity than traditional ones. the highest ph...

two groups of olive cultivars were characterized as showing low (tokhmkabki) and high (roghani) rooting percentage after application of iba treatment. semi-hard wood cuttings were dipped in h 2 2 o 2 (0-3.5% w/v) and iba (4000 mg.l -1 ) and also they were investigated in combination. h 2 o 2 alone did not stimulate rooting of olive cuttings and there were no significant differences between this...

Oleuropein, Hydroxytyrosol and Tyrosol are three major phenolic compounds present in olive with remarkable pharmacological effects. In this study, leaves and fruit of four olive cultivars including ‘Fishomi’, ‘Mary’, ‘Roghani’ and ‘Zard’ grown in the north of Iran were collected for comparative evaluation of the concentration of Oleuropein, Hydroxytyrosol and Tyrosol as well as antioxidant prop...
