Comparative transcriptomic analysis of male and female flowers of monoecious Qu...
Rocheta, Margarida; Sobral, Rómulo Sacramento; Magalhães, Joana; Amorim, Maria I.; Ribeiro, Teresa; Pinheiro, Miguel; Egas, ConceiçãoMonoecious species provide a comprehensive system to study the developmental programs underlying the establishment of female and male organs in unisexual flowers. However, molecular resources for most monoecious non-model species are limited, hampering our ability to study the molecular mechanisms involved in flower development of these species. The objective of this study was to identify differentially express...
A comprehensive assessment of the transcriptome of cork oak (Quercus suber) thr...
Pereira-Leal, José B.; Abreu, Isabel A.; Alabaça, Cláudia S.; Almeida, Maria H.; Almeida, Paulo; Almeida, Tânia; Amorim, Maria I.; Araújo, SusanaBackground: Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the rare trees with the ability to produce cork, a material widely used to make wine bottle stoppers, flooring and insulation materials, among many other uses. The molecular mechanisms of cork formation are still poorly understood, in great part due to the difficulty in studying a species with a long life-cycle and for which there is scarce molecular/genomic inform...
