Climate change has become a widespread serious phenomenon. Its effects are related to variability in local climates rather than in global climatic patterns. Mediterranean countries are the most concerned where olive tree constitutes one of the most dynamic cultivations. This work focuses on the research for new indicators of the adaptation of the olive tree to several climatic conditions. ‘Chemlali’ and ‘Chetoui’ represent the primary Tunisian olive tree cultivars. To adapt to different climatic conditions characterizing the north, the center and the south of the country (superior semiarid, inferior semiarid and inferior arid respectively), these varieties synthesize many interesting compounds that have been screened and compared. Indeed, the methanolic extracts from ‘Chemlali’ and ‘Chetoui’ leaves have been tested for their antioxidant activities. The chemical compositions of the extracts have been quantified in antioxidants. Both ‘Chemlali’ and ‘Chetoui’ exhibited a significant antioxidant activity, reaching 90%. However, Chemlali activity was more important in the inferior semiarid (80%) and in the inferior arid (70%), while ‘Chetoui’ activity was more significant in the superior semiarid and in the inferior arid. Total phenols of ‘Chemlali’ showed a triple content in the inferior arid comparatively to the superior semiarid. Additionally, flavonoids, o-diphenols, saponin and carotenoids of ‘Chemlali’ increased significantly in this area as opposed to those of ‘Chetoui’. 2(3H) 5-methyl furanone, 4-vinyl methoxyphenol, and hexadecanoic acid known for their antioxidant activity and many others have been identified in these varieties.

The number of studies in the research field of antimutagenesis is increasing. The aims of many of these studies are preventing genetic hazards from environmental mutagens and elucidating the process of mutagenesis. Some naturally occurring flavorings such as vanillin, cinnamaldehyde, and coumarin have been reported to inhibit mutagenesis induced by mutagens in bacterial and mammalian cells. These flavorings are considered to act as antimutagens by modifying DNA replication and/or DNA repair systems after cellular DNA was damaged by mutagens. A factor that suppresses mutagenicity in a given situation, however, sometimes exerts enhancing effects when the endpoints investigated or the test conditions used are varied. This makes the evaluation of antimutagenic factors complicated. Different modifying effects of the above-mentioned flavorings observed in various test systems for genotoxicity are discussed, based on their proposed mechanisms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
