Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The time course of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in the leaves of two olive cultivars (Picual and FS-17) irrigated with nutrient solutions differing in Mn concentration (0, 2 and 1280 micromol L(-1)) was studied under hydroponic conditions to determine whether PPO activity could be used as an early criterion of Mn status of olive plants, and to elucidate whether genotypic differences exist between...
