The upstream s.r. are 75–86 bp in length and the downstream ones are about 160 bp in length. The first type is represented by a high number (36) of iterations, which share a mutual similarity of 82.5%. A single sequence (TATTATAGGGGGGAGG) is found, which fits the reported TIS of plants and the position +1 would correspond to the adenine at position 3,622 after the 3′ end of 25 S ribosomal RNA (rDNA) genes. Moreover, in Olea IGS region some unusual features are observed and discussed in relation to analogous data present in the literature.
