Olive-tree physiological response to biotic and abiotic stress fruit yield, oil quality and tolerance to Anthracnose:Doctoral thesis abstract. [Respuesta fisiológica del olivo a estrés biótico y abiótico:rendimiento, calidad del aceite y tolerancia a antracnosis:Resumen de tesis doctoral.].
ABSTRACT.- The olive tree is highly tolerant to water deficit and in humid climate regions, such as Uruguay, the need to irrigation is questioned. However, Uruguay's climate is characterized by high interannual variability, resulting in periods of water deficit. In the event of a water deficit, plants trigger a series of defense mechanisms to maintain cellular homeostasis, including increased antioxidant enzyme activity and cuticle thickening to prevent transpiration.
