activity assessment of tunisian olive leaf extracts against the trophozoite stage of acanthamoeba. | the olive tree (olea europaea, oleaceae) has historically provided huge economic and nutritional benefits to the mediterranean basin. in fact, olive leaf extracts have also been used by native people of this area in folk medicine to treat fever and other diseases such as malaria. recently, several studies have focused on the extraction of high-added-value compounds from olive leaves. however, no previous studies have been developed in order to evaluate the activity of these extracts against acan ... | 2013 | 23681194 |
genetic similarity among tunisian olive cultivars and two unknown feral olive trees estimated through ssr markers. | we used eight informative microsatellite markers for fingerprinting and evaluation of genetic similarity among 15 tunisian olive (olea europaea l.) cultivars and two feral unknown trees named soulela 1 and soulela 2. thirty-one alleles were revealed, and the number of alleles per ssr varied from 2 (udo12) to 6 (gapu71a). cluster analysis grouped cultivars into three main clusters. the two unknown varieties could not be reliably classified into any of these cultivar groups. ssr analysis indicated ... | 2014 | 24535154 |
