Flavonoids make a relevant contribution to the response mechanisms of higher plants to a
plethora of abiotic stresses. In addition to the long-reported functions as screeners of …

An investigation was carried out to elucidate growth, anatomical, physiological, and major
ROS detoxification pathways involved in the tolerance of A. tricolor under salinity stress …

In this work we give an overview of both morphological characteristics and physiological
mechanisms responsible for the high adaptability of olive to harsh environments, and how …

The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is often exposed to severe water stress during the summer
season. In this study, we determined the changes in total phenol content, oleuropein and …

Phenolic compounds are constituents of all higher plants. However, their biosynthesis is
often induced when plants are exposed to environmental stresses, such as salinity. The aim …

Fast increase in world population, scarcer water resources and climate change are putting
