Olive ( L.) is a very important crop grown in the Mediterranean part of Croatia. Olive branch and fruit dieback symptoms were observed in two olive orchards in Istria, Croatia. The samples from symptomatic trees were collected and brought to the laboratory for analysis. Based on their morphological characterization, isolated fungi were identified as sp. Two representative isolates (one per orchard) were taken for molecular analysis, and based on DNA sequence data of the ITS and TUB gene regions, and phylogenetic analysis of the sequences, the isolates were identified as Défago. To determine pathogenicity, pathogenicity tests were conducted on detached olive branches and two-year-old olive trees in the greenhouse. This is the first report of causing olive branch and fruit dieback in Croatia.

Recently, in several locations in the province of Trapani (Sicily, Italy), olive growers have reported cases of decaying olive trees of cv. 'Nocellara del Belice', showing symptoms of defoliation, branch drying, xylem browning, and reduced production. Internal symptoms include white and brown wood rot, starting from the base of the trunk.

Article Synopsis
- Chinese olive (Canarium album) is a significant plant in southern China, valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties, but it faces issues from fungal diseases, particularly in a 400 hectare orchard in Guangdong province, where a 40% leaf blotch incidence was noted.
- The study involved analyzing symptomatic leaves to identify the fungal causal agent, leading to the culture of four isolates with one representative isolate (LB-1) that showed characteristics similar to Phyllosticta capitalensis.
- The genomic analysis included morphological observations and sequencing of the ITS region, with the sequences deposited in NCBI GenBank, highlighting the need for further research on the impacts of this pathogen on Chinese olive production.

Article Synopsis
- Olive leaves, a byproduct of olive oil production, are being repurposed for extracting beneficial substances like phenolic compounds.
- A study focused on extracting polyphenolic compounds using potassium hydroxide (KOH) from these leaves, which resulted in high concentrations of hydroxytyrosol.
- The extract not only enhanced the color and potassium content of black olives but also reduced acrylamide formation by up to 32%, showing potential for healthier olive products.
