A comprehensive assessment of the transcriptome of cork oak (Quercus suber) thr...
Pereira-Leal, José B; Abreu, Isabel A; Alabaça, Cláudia S; Almeida, Maria Helena; Almeida, Paulo; Almeida, Tânia; Amorim, Maria Isabel; 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...

Expression-based and co-localization detection of arabinogalactan protein 6 and...
Costa, Mário; Nobre, Margarida Sofia; Becker, Jörg D; Masiero, Simona; Amorim, Maria Isabel; Pereira, Luís Gustavo; Coimbra, SílviaArabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are cell wall proteoglycans that have been shown to be important for pollen development. An Arabidopsis double null mutant for two pollen-specific AGPs (agp6 agp11) showed reduced pollen tube growth and compromised response to germination cues in vivo. A microarray experiment was performed on agp6 agp11 pollen tubes to search for genetic interactions in the context of pollen tube...
