TLDR
The results showed that the transplant length, leaves number/transplant, leaf area, leaves content of N, P, K, Ca, Na, Cl and chlorophyll were decreased with increasing water stress conditions, while there were no significantly differences between treatments in proline content.
Abstract
The present study was carried out during the period from 2009 to 2010 in the greenhouse of Pomology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University to study the effect of water stress (Irrigation at 100, 75, 50 and 25% from field capacity) on vegetative characteristics and leaves chemical constituents on five olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars (Picual, Koroneiki, Manzanillo, Coratina and Eggizi Shami). The results showed that the transplant length, leaves number/transplant, leaf area, leaves content of N, P, K, Ca, Na, Cl and chlorophyll were decreased with increasing water stress conditions, while there were no significantly differences between treatments in proline content.

Drought tolerance of three olive cultivars alternatively selected for rain fed or intensive cultivation

TL;DR: A tradeoff between selection for suitability in intensively irrigated orchards and tolerance to drought is suggested, with the ‘Barnea’ showing higher sensitivity to low water availability.

Physiological and biochemical responses of some olive cultivars (Olea europaea L.) to water stress.

TL;DR: Results showed that relative water content, K & Ca was reduced while sodium content increased by increasing water stress while chlorophyll content was higher in Konservolia cultivar under water stress in comparison to the others.

Foliar Application of Nano-Silicon Improves the Physiological and Biochemical Characteristics of ‘Kalamata’ Olive Subjected to Deficit Irrigation in a Semi-Arid Climate

TL;DR: In this article , the role of nano-silicon (nSi) on the growth, development, and productivity of severely stressed "Kalamata" olive trees was evaluated under different irrigation regimes (100, 90, and 80% irrigation water requirements "IWR") during the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Impacts of water stress on gas exchange, water relations, chlorophyll content and leaf structure in the two main Tunisian olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars

TL;DR: Leaf structural adaptations for the reduction of water loss were examined in two olive cultivars (Chemlali and Chetoui) growing under water stress conditions and Chemlali exhibited more tolerance to water stress, with a thicker palisade parenchyma, and a higher stomatal and trichome density.

Distribution of dry matter during the growth of Solanum laciniatum

TL;DR: Stem and root dry weights for each season showed a lag period before a linear increase in dry weight, and the proportion of dry weight in leaves was greatest in young plants and decreased as the plants matured.
