The effect of these treatments was evaluated by the fruit yield and the determination of the period of olives growth and ripening.
These molecular and bioinformatic data represent a first step toward both functional genomics and systems biology research for understanding the gene functions and regulatory networks in olive fruit growth, development and ripening.

However, lower lipid contents were accumulated by this strain without an olive oil-containing growth medium.
As many woody plants, olive requires several growth seasons from seed germination to first flowering (juvenile phase).
The ceremony will be held in Roumieh, Lebanon, Ms. Abi-Habib's ancestral village, on the edge of a knoll in an old-growth olive grove that belongs to her family, next to a small, old chapel.
Using a regional climate model, researchers looked at how a rise in global average temperature of 1.8°C (the temperature change expected between the 1960s and the 2040s) might affect the growth of olive trees (Olea europaea) and the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae), one of the crop's major pests.
Two treatments by ABA (10−3 mg/l) were made during the development and growth of the olives: olive trees are treated at fruit set, other trees are treated at veraison, and other trees are left without treatment as control.
All these results suggest that annual applications of fertilizer N are unnecessary to maintain high productivity and growth in olive.
Fertilization with N had no significant effects on yield, fruit characteristics, and growth of olive trees for the 13 years of study, even when leaf N concentration increased with the amount of fertilizer N applied.
