Abstract:
... One of the main challenges for olive oil producers is the ability to assess oil quality regularly during the production cycle. The quality of olive oil is evaluated through a series of parameters that can be determined, up to now, only through multiple chemical analysis techniques. This requires samples to be sent to approved laboratories, making the quality control an expensive, time-consuming pr ...

This is attributed to the multiple post‐transcriptional mechanisms, which control both mRNA turnover and translation within eukaryotic cells. One such mechanism is the removal of the 5’ end cap structure of RNAs (decapping). This 5’ cap plays a fundamental role in cellular functions related to m ...
