As superficial structures, non-glandular trichomes, protect plant organs against multiple
biotic and abiotic stresses. The protective and defensive roles of these epidermal …

This review examines how leaf trichomes influence leaf physiological responses to abiotic
environmental drivers. Leaf trichomes are known to modulate leaf traits, particularly radiation …

The leaf anatomical features of two olive cultivars ('Mastoidis' and 'Koroneiki') were
comparatively studied in irrigated and drought stressed plants. Drought stress in both …

The effects of drought on the photosynthetic characteristics of three Mediterranean plants
(olive, Olea europea L.; rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis L.; lavender, Lavandula stoechas …

Green roof plants alter the microclimate of building roofs and may improve roof insulation.
They act by providing cooling by shading, but also through transpiration of water through …

This is a review of water use by the olive tree, in which the most-relevant knowledge from the
literature is combined with key results from experiments just finished or currently in progress …

Previous studies have showed that UV-B can stimulate closure as well as opening of
stomata. However, the mechanism of this complex effect of UV-B is not clear. The purpose of …

Flavonoids of non-glandular leaf hairs from Quercus ilex were analysed. The main
compounds were acylated kaempferol glycosides. Acylation shifted the absorption peak into …

Background and Aims Depending on cultivar, surfaces of young leaves of Vitis vinifera may
be glabrous-green ('Soultanina') or transiently have anthocyanins ('Siriki') or pubescence …
