Keolie from Keora and Olive Tree Using the State-Of-The-Art Genetic Engineering Technology Abu Siddiqui, Ph. D usa

Preliminary Draft Generation of Transgenic Plant KEOLIE from Keora and Olive Tree Using the State-Of-The-Art Genetic Engineering Technology Abu Siddiqui, Ph.D USA Species: Keora tree (Sonneratia apetala Buch.-Ham.) Olive tree (Olea europaea L.) Family: Sonneratia apatela Buch.-Ham belongs to the Sonneratiaceae family Olea europaea belongs to the Oleaceae family Origin: Keora tree from mangrove forest, Bangladesh Olive tree from Europe Objective: Generate a transgenic plant from Keora and Olive tree for enhanced production of alternative edible oil similar to olive oil Transfer oil producing gene from Olea europaea to Sonneratia apetala Reduce the seed and increase the fruit size of Sonneratia apatela by genetic manipulation to maximize oil contains Genetically manipulate the flower to maximize the honey contents To create a better variety to grow commercially in the mangrove forest and coastal areas in Bangladesh The transgenic plants will serve as a natural shield to protect Bangladesh from natural disaster and environmental changes Plans: Unveil genomic sequence of Sonneratia apetala and Olea europaea Determine the oil producing gene of Olea europaea Transfer oil producing gene from Olea europaea to Sonneratia apetala Create Transgenic plant Grow Transgenic plant (KEOLIE) Analyze the fruits Similarity Fruits: Sonneratia apatela Olea europaea Flowers: Sonneratia apetala Olea europaea Leaves: Sonneratia apatela Olea europaea Trees: Sonneratia apetala Olea europaea
