Study of flower induction and fructification mechanisms in Castanea sativa Mill
Alhinho, Ana Teresa Talhinhas BarataThe European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is a species from the Fagaceae family that constitutes the basis of an important agroforestry system in several Mediterranean countries, being a pivotal economic resource due to its seed production. However, information regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying the life cycle of this plant is limited. Crucial events for a successful fructification, such as dorma...
The dynamics of flower development in Castanea sativa Mill
Alhinho, Ana Teresa Talhinhas Barata; Ramos, Miguel Jesus Nunes; Alves, Sofia; Rocheta, Margarida; Morais-Cecílio, Leonor; Gomes-Laranjo, JoséThe sweet chestnut tree (<i>Castanea sativa</i> Mill.) is one of the most significant Mediterranean tree species, being an important natural resource for the wood and fruit industries. It is a monoecious species, presenting unisexual male catkins and bisexual catkins, with the latter having distinct male and female flowers. Despite the importance of the sweet chestnut tree, little is known regarding the molecul...
Vineyard calcium sprays induce changes in grape berry skin, firmness, cell wall...
Martins, Viviana; Garcia, Ana; Alhinho, Ana Teresa Talhinhas Barata; Costa, Pedro; Lanceros-Méndez, S.; Costa, M. Manuela R.; Gerós, H.Having a central role in cell wall pectin cross-linking, calcium has been increasingly used as supplement to promote fruit firmness and extended shelf-life. However, the molecular rearrangements associated to increased fruit robustness are still a matter of debate. In this study, mechanical, histochemical and molecular assays were conducted to understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of Ca in fruit phys...
