Dry matter (DM) of olive fruit (cv. Leccino) constantly increased from fruit-set (mid-June) to the end of October. The oil content increased rapidly from the beginning of August, about 40-50 d after bull bloom (AFB), to the end of October. As the oil content increased, the saccharide content decreased. On a DM basis, fruit dark respiration rate (RD) and stomatal conductance (Gs) were high soon after fruit-set, then strongly decreased. Gross photosynthetic rate (PG) in full sunlight was high in the first 3 weeks after fruit-set, when the chlorophyll (Chl) content and the ratio between fruit surface area and volume were high, then it progressively decreased.
