(1) Background: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is responsible for a large part of many health
benefits associated to Mediterranean diet as it is a fundamental ingredient of this diet. The …

Plants are generally well adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. Even though
they have notably prospered in our planet, stressful conditions such as salinity, drought and …

Genetic manipulation of genes to upregulate specific branches of metabolic pathways is a
method that is commonly used to improve fruit quality. However, the use of a single gene to …

Here we present the genome sequence and annotation of the wild olive tree (Olea europaea
var. sylvestris), called oleaster, which is considered an ancestor of cultivated olive trees …

Olive was introduced into cultivation more than 3000 years ago, but only during the last two
decades has cultivation shifted from low density to dense hedgerow orchards. This …

Background Despite its primary economic importance, genomic information on olive tree is
still lacking. 454 pyrosequencing was used to enrich the very few sequence data currently …

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become the largest contributor to worldwide
morbidity and mortality. Among them, cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are …

In higher plants, the lipoxygenase enzymatic pathway combined actions of several enzymes
to convert lipid substrates into signaling and defense molecules called phytooxylipins …

Grapevine cv. Tempranillo fruit-bearing cuttings were exposed to supplemental ultraviolet-B
(UV-B) radiation under controlled conditions, in order to study its effect on grape traits …

Neurodegenerative diseases are a significant challenge to global healthcare, and oxidative
