Tarom region of Zanjan province is one the olive production centers in Iran, which faced a crisis salinity stress following salinization water resources. The selection tolerant cultivars using pivotal characteristics interesting challenges. This study was conducted to investigate behavior ‘Zard’, ‘Abou-satl’, and ‘Arbequina’ context marginal waters. Therefore, one-year-old self-rooted plants th...

a greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of salinity stress on growth and macroelements contents of two olive varieties under hydroponic conditions. in the research, one-year old saplings of two olive varieties, ‘zard’ and ‘mission’, were subjected to different salinity levels induced by nacl including 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 dsm-1 for 5 months. based on the results, total dry...

Selection of frost tolerant cultivars and understanding the mechanisms of frost hardiness could help to improve freezing resistance in olive plants. Olive cultivars may differ in frost hardiness due to differential survival of specific organs. The aim of this study was to screen different olive cultivars based on their stomatal density and metabolic modifications under cold conditions. The ‘Zar...

the present study attempts to investigate the effect of thermal treatment at 180 °c for 8 hours on chemical changes, quality indexes and oxidative stability of three iranian common virgin olive oils (zard, mari and phishomi). oil samples were taken every 2h of heating treatment and assessed for fatty acid composition, conjugated diene value, carbonyl value, color index and oxidative stability i...

despite the profusion of flowers that develop on olive trees, only a few set fruit during the growing season and only about 1-2% of the fruit remains on the trees at maturity. therefore, to maximize fruit set and yield, it is important for growers to understand the cross-compatibility between cultivars when planning to establish an olive orchard. this study was carried out in shiraz, fars provi...

in this research, the quality indices, phenolic compounds (hydroxy tyrosol, tyrosol, cinamic and vanilic acid), fatty acids and pigments from olive oil of cultivars ‘zard’, ‘roghani’, and ‘mari’ (from kazeroon region, located in fars province), were assessed. measurement of phenolic compounds showed that ‘mari’ cultivar oil contained the highest cinamic and vanilic acids with 1.4 and 1.18 milli...
