The compensation heat pulse (CHP) method is widely used to estimate sap flow and transpiration in conducting organs of woody plants. Previous studies have reported a natural azimuthal variability in sap flow, which could have practical implications in locating the CHP probes and integrating their output. Sap flow of several olive trees (Olea europaea L. cv. 'Arbequina') previously grown under d...

Vascular pathogens are the causal agents of main diseases threatening health and growth olive crops worldwide. The use endophytic microorganisms represents a challenging promising strategy for management vascular in olive. Although current research has been focused on analyzing structure diversity microbial communities inhabiting xylem, characterization this ecological niche overlooked to date ...

Oleuropein is the most abundant biologically active phenolic compound in olives. It has been extensively studied for human health benefits but its role in plant development processes has received limited attention. Changes in the levels of oleuropein during early stages of flower formation and during fruit development and maturation were determined using high performance liquid chromatography. ...

Chromatographic techniques such as GC and HPLC are traditionally used for the analysis classification of olive oil, while NMR is another powerful technique. In this paper we first time to classify oil produced by four cultivars, namely ‘Arbequina’, ‘Arbosana’, ‘Koroneiki’, ‘Sikitita’, planted in super-high-density frames California, United States. We compared results with targeted fatty acids t...
