High-resolution gene expression atlases of two contrasting major Greek olive (Olea europaea L.) tree cultivars for oil and table olive production.

ABSTRACT:

Description of aims and systems used

Olive (Olea europea L.) is one of the most economically important tree crops worldwide, especially for the countries in the Mediterranean basin. Given the economic and nutritional importance of the crop for olive oil and drupe production, we generated transcriptional atlases for the Greek olive cultivars "Chondrolia Chalkidikis" and "Koroneiki" which have contrasting characteristics in terms of fruit development, oil production properties, and use. Our analysis involved 14 different organs, tissue types, and developmental stages, including young and mature leaves, young and mature shoots, open and closed flowers, young and mature fruits (epicarp plus mesocarp), young and mature endocarps, stalks, as well as roots. The developed gene expression a
