differences are evident between flower and fruit tissue transcriptomes.

Metabolic process sub-category, consisting of more than 11,000 genes, is dominant in biological process. While, binding and cell part subcategories, consisting of about 13,0000 and 8,000 genes, are dominant in molecular function and cellular component, respectively. We also noticed an appreciable number of genes included in cellular process, catalytic activity and organelle sub-categories (Figure 5). However, at this level of detail no dramatic

Next generation RNA sequence from additional organs/tissues/genotypes of *Olea europaea*, as well as, full comparative data analysis between and within the sequenced samples are currently in progress. These studies will certainly provide valuable information about gene

Genomic sequences for olive will enable researchers to explore the breadth of genetic diversity present within the species and within the breeding germplasm using high throughput methods of resequencing based on NGS technologies. This will give access to all types of variations, namely Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertion/deletions and structural variants (large insertion/deletions). It will allow a better
