ABSTRACT: Genetic changes involved in the juvenile-to-adult transition in the shoot apex of Olea europaea L. occurs years before the first flowering. For the study of the genetic-expression pattern over development, 21 seedlings originating from open pollination of olive cultivar M-bM-^@M-^XArbequinaM-bM-^@M-^Y were grown in a greenhouse in Centro IFAPA M-bM-^@M-^\ChurrianaM-bM-^@M-^] MM-CM-!laga, Spain. At the sixth month the apical shoot was removed and kept for genomic analysis. Any lateral shoot was removed to force the growth along just one axis. Every three months a new (1 cm long) apical-shoot tip was taken, which included the meristem down to two very small young leaves. When the apical-shoot tip is removed the two lateral buds immediately below are activated, one of them is removed, and the other one becomes the new apical-shoot tip. Seedlings reaching 50 nodes or 1 m high were allowed to form a top canopy. From then, the samples were taken from apical shoots of higher branches. We analyzed samples taken from the seedling/tree No 11, in a dense time-course study by microarray analysis. According to the nature of the samples, i.e. the main apical shoots, we had to use single samples during the first 6 to 15 months of growth. This limits the use of the statistics for this period but is compensated for by providing a series of consecutive data that make it possible to ascertain the time course of gene expression over plant development.
