'grappolo 561' has fruit with the longest transverse diameter, and 'grappolo 541' has fruit with the highest total mass. 'arbequina' and 'grappolo 561' show the highest lipid content. %K olea europaea %K olive oil %K reprodutive cycle. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0100-204X2012000100005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
